Only two semesters to go until the big festival in 2025
The Rhine-Ruhr 2025 FISU World University Games are fast approaching: only the winter semester 2024/2025 and the summer semester 2025 separate the Ruhr area and Berlin from one of the biggest multi-sport events of 2025. In Bochum, Duisburg, Essen, Mülheim an der Ruhr, Hagen and Berlin, student athletes from up to 150 countries will compete for medals in 18 sports, framed by a unique festival of music, dance, culture, trend sports, hands-on science and much more.
As the premier student sporting event, the educational potential of the FISU Games is a key focus for us. Everyone has a part to play - not just the athletes, but also the students, lecturers, researchers and staff of the colleges and universities.
For students
We offer a range of challenging activities where you can gain valuable work experience. As a volunteer, intern or working student, there is something for everyone. Find out about our current vacancies and how to apply here.
We run two dissertation competitions (completed dissertation or exposé) with prizes of up to €1,500.
Students / Teaching / Seminars / Research
We organise a scientific conference ('FISU World Conference') with up to 400 participants from 40 countries. Click here for more information.
We are organising the lecture series 'Rhine-Ruhr et al. (2025)' on 'Major Sport Events', with speakers from six different continents every week from 17.10.2024. A digital visit, including individual appointments, is possible at any time after informal registration at t.horky@macromedia.de.

University Marketing
Here you can apply as a university or as part of a university for a place in the side-events and festival programme (e.g., workshops, live performances, exhibitions).
Everyone plays a part in our programme. If you want to be part of one of the biggest multi-sport events in 2025, please contact us. We will be happy to create a customised graphic for you (logo, motto; example).
We are running numerous marketing activities, such as the social media series 'Hot-Job' (October 2024), 'Advent University Quiz' (December 2024) or 'Battle of the Universe' (April 2025), in which you can participate.
We are also happy to provide you with information about past FISU World University Games participants from your university or help you with 'Local Hero' stories about current top student athletes or volunteers from your university.
We are also opening up our Flame Relay to universities, so that every university has the opportunity to showcase itself and its institution.
In short, everyone has a role to play. Be part of it and get in touch with us. Your contact for all university matters: johannes.karsch@rhineruhr2025.com
