Programme
The Opening Week marks the start of your studies: it begins on Thursday, October 5th and ends on Friday, October 13th. During the first two days you can arrive and receive all important information for the start of your studies. You will meet the tutors, your project group and get to know the professors of your degree programme.
After a free weekend, you will then devote yourself to the topic of the Opening Week, "Collecting", and your project work. You will gather impressions in group work and discussions with people from science, society and politics. In the process, you will develop your own vision for the world society of tomorrow. After an exciting week in which you have approached the topic from different perspectives, the Opening Week will come to an end with the grand finale on Friday, October 13th.
