► Community cafés connect people at TU Braunschweig who are interested in specific socially relevant topics.
A low-threshold event format in which people, over coffee in a relaxed atmosphere, come together to discuss topics relevant to academia and society and to network.
The aim is to create a space that enables the formation of valuable collaborations and partnerships in a specific thematic area. You bring the topic and take care of shaping the content. We are happy to advise and support you.
We handle organization and communication. That means we provide the infrastructure, advise on a suitable venue (and are happy to bring our format to your event), and promote the gathering.
TU researchers, students, and staff have the opportunity to run the Community Café format with a focus topic of their choosing together with us. Simply complete the short inquiry form and send it to Christian Stascheit.
P.S.: Coffee at the Community Café is free, and you can stay up to date via the Community Café Stud.IP group
Student initiatives will present themselves on 19 November in the Studierendenhaus. Each initiative has a 30-minute time slot. Students have the opportunity to meet fellow students who are involved in various organizations and thus help shape TU Braunschweig. Over a free coffee, students can exchange ideas and discover potential future engagement.
