Sympathy for those who are deeply concerned about people close to them or mourning the deaths of relatives and friends – services for students, staff members and academics directly or indirectly affected by the earthquake disaster in Turkey and Syria

It is with great dismay and sympathy that Heidelberg University responds to the consequences of the severe earthquake in Turkey and Syria. The academic community stands united with all those who are directly or indirectly affected by the earthquake.

The Division of International Relations is offering confidential one-on-one counselling to students, staff members and academics of Heidelberg University – in person, by video call or phone. Depending on the subject matter, and once your individual needs have been identified, other support services may be consulted. You can make your appointment by email or phone.
