Who can apply?
Students of all universities and disciplines can apply. If you want to be credited with ECTS for your participation, please read this information and contact us.
Why is there a participation fee?
We need to cover the expenses for lunch meals and the cultural program by the participation fee. However, if you need financial support, please contact us and we will try to find a solution together.
If you are studying at a university in the Czech Republic, you are also eligible for a scholarship by the Bavarian-Czech Academic Agency:

I am not living in Passau. Where can I stay?
In order to keep the costs as low as possible for you, we try to arrange accommodation at student’s places (flat shares) for external participants. In any case, there are other lower-cost possibilities in the city of Passau, for example the Youth Hostel or the Rotel Inn.
Do I need to know all of Kant's work?
No, you don’t. We will provide a reader with the texts to be prepared.
