In short, we are committed to helping exchange students have the best time possible in Paderborn. Not only do we support them in case of any issues, but we organize unforgettable activities, events, and trips all throughtout their stay.
That is exactly why Eurobiz was founded. We look back on a long tradition that started in 1989, a time when Germany was still divided and European countries had tight borders. What an adventure it must have been to study abroad in those days! And today our cause remains the same.
In recent years, a constant number of 40-50 members has been dedicating their time to exchange students’ experience. Our members themselves are students at University Paderborn who decided to volunteer for Eurobiz – driven by our mission, not monetary gain! We cooperate with the International Office of Paderborn University, and as a so-called Lokale Erasmus+ Initiative (LEI) we receive support from the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD).
Every Tuesday at 7 pm, we Eurobiz members (not the exchange students) meet to discuss current topics, and organize upcoming events. Everyone who wants to participate in our student association and volunteer for our exchange students is more than welcome! After the weekly meeting, we catch up with the international students at the so-called “Stammtisch”, which takes place at a pub in the city center.
During the semester, we organize several events and trips for the exchange students in Paderborn. Here is an overview of what this semester has got in stock!
