Intercultural Activities

The M.Sc. WASTE is always promoting intercultural skills among the students and members of the alumni network. Therefore, a variety of intercultural events are organized year round!

M.Sc. WASTE Intercultural Meetings (WIMs) are special events such as Latin American Night and Asian Night where students take on the floor to showcase their cultures through presentations, authentic food, music, and dance! 

The M.Sc. WASTE Summer Party is an annual event that brings together the students and teachers in an open-air concept. It opens up the opportunity to get in touch with the old and new members of the M.Sc. WASTE family.

The M.Sc. WASTE Graduation Ceremony commemorates and celebrates the two-year journey for the students of a generation. Music performances, authentic international food, and speeches make the event an unforgettable spectacle.

The annual M.Sc. WASTE International Symposium offers an opportunity for students to share their academic work with researchers and industry experts. International speakers are also invited to share their work and to make the event a unique and multidisciplinary occasion for all.

New students are guided each year to a traditional hike and tour of the Schloss Solitude, followed by a barbecue event and student get-together, to warmly welcome them into the program.

Besides the excursions within the modules. the M.Sc. WASTE Office organizes extracurricular excursions to nature hikes as well as to national/international conferences, fairs, and congresses.
