At the Europe Forum 2025, representatives from politics, diplomacy, and academia discussed 35 years of German unity and Saxony-Anhalt’s role in Europe.

Welcome Week 2025 provided our EUS students with a wonderful start to the new semester – featuring introductory sessions, new connections, and two Friday highlights: the presentation of the MA projects and a guided city tour through Magdeburg.
