Club Speed Dating

On Wednesday, October 7, 2026, at 3:30 p.m., this year's Club Speed Dating Event will take place in the Lecture Hall Building. A variety of clubs and associations from Schmalkalden and the surrounding area will be participating, representing fields such as sports, social engagement, music, and the arts.

The aim of the event is to further strengthen the connection between the university and the local community while encouraging interactions beyond campus life. Both German and international students should not only gain professional opportunities but also become socially involved in the region through local clubs and associations. As Fabian Amborn, the district mayor of Wernshausen, puts it: "Anyone who has moved to the region and wants to become part of the community cannot overlook the local clubs." The speed dating event offers the perfect opportunity to make new connections, discover new hobbies, and become actively involved in life in Schmalkalden beyond university studies.

International students, in particular, often find it difficult to connect with local residents and establish friendships outside the university environment. This event is designed to give students the opportunity to get to know local clubs and learn more about their activities. At the same time, the participating clubs have the chance to recruit new members and engage with young adults from both Germany and around the world.
