All together in more than 1.500 events each year, they provide students the possibility to gain practical experiences next to their studies. Those events include lectures, workshops, Soft Skill trainings as well as seminars lasting more than one day, and series of lectures. That way the associations raise the awareness for social responsibility and therefore are the perfect addition to the studies for the members of the association as well as for all the students. Several Universities, Scientists and more than 110 companies from various branches are supporting this idea.

Because of their excellence connection of education and economy the associations within the Kölner Runde raise the awareness for a different approach for disputed topics. Characteristics of the associations are professional patterns within the organisations, the link between theory and praxis, support of one’s career and possibilities for further education for members and other students.

All together the Kölner Runde consists of about 15.000 Students at 67 places with 198 local representatives. It therefore stands for the majority of the students engaged in social activities next to their studies.
