The "International Student Week in Ilmenau"(ISWI) is a unique, student-organized conference that brings together students from around the world. Unlike similar events, ISWI stands out due to its rich content and focus on meaningful discussions. The primary goal is to provide an open platform where participants can connect, exchange ideas, and collaborate on innovative solutions to pressing global issues.
For ISWI 2025, we invite students from all corners of the globe to explore the theme "Sharing Power, Giving Opportunities and Enabling Participation." This edition aims to tackle issues of inclusivity, empowerment, and active engagement by fostering critical discussions and developing actionable solutions. ISWI 2025 will take place from June 12th to 21st, 2025, at the Ilmenau University of Technology, under the dynamic motto "Spark the Part(y)cipation." To ensure a deep and comprehensive exploration of the topic, the main theme has been divided into specialized subgroups, allowing participants to focus on specific aspects of the overarching theme.
A key highlight of ISWI is the opportunity to interact with distinguished experts and professionals who bring their knowledge, experience, and passion to the discussions. We invite speakers from around the world who have demonstrated excellence and dedication in their fields to share insights, lead discussions, and inspire innovative thinking.
Beyond the academic discourse, ISWI 2025 also offers a vibrant cultural program designed to foster intercultural exchange and lasting friendships. Every planned activity is infused with the spirit of the main theme, ensuring a seamless integration of discussion and cultural experience. Some of the exciting activities lined up for ISWI 2025 include:
- International brunch
- Interactive theater
- Open air concert
- Science slam
- Movie Night
- Thuringian Experience Day
