“We provide answers“

The University of Bayreuth will continue its series of public discussions, which began in the "neuseum" in its 50th anniversary year, in 2026. However, the discussion series "We provide answers" will now take place in the Iwalewahaus. Visitors will thus continue to have the opportunity to engage in direct conversation with scientists, students, and staff of the University of Bayreuth.

Upcoming dates

“Is Bayreuth a Good University Town?” – Representatives of the University of Bayreuth’s Student Council discuss the pros and cons of their campus

When: Thursday, April 30, 2026, 6:00 p.m.
Where: Iwalewahaus Wölfelstraße 2

On Thursday, April 30, Gert-Dieter Meier (Press, Marketing, and Communications Office at the University of Bayreuth) will discuss the pros and cons of Bayreuth as a college town with three representatives of the University of Bayreuth Student Parliament as part of the university’s “We Provide Answers” public forum.

The discussion will focus on questions such as how attractive Bayreuth really is as a place to study, what strengths the city has, and where students see an urgent need for action.

Representing the Student Parliament at the event will be the two co-chairs, Dominik Lieder and Luca Schleicher, as well as Dilara Su Giray. Topics include housing, mobility, culture, campus life, prospects for staying in the city, and the relationship between the local community and the university. The role of the Student Parliament will also be discussed.

The event is specifically aimed at residents of Bayreuth and the surrounding region, as well as, of course, students at the university. The goal of the series is to foster dialogue between academia, campus life, and social issues—in an open, accessible, and equal manner. Following the moderated discussion, attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions.

The Student Parliament serves as the representative body for students at the University of Bayreuth. Its 34 members see themselves as “the voice of the students vis-à-vis the university administration” in countless committees and in the day-to-day life of the university.
