At the Heart of It All - at the University & in the City

Students, employees and lecturers are involved in the various social activities of the country. Their activities decisively influence cultural and social life. International students and academics from the Otto-von-Guericke-Universität contribute to the diversity and innovative power of the city and region.

With, among other organisations, the RIA (International Affairs Division) of the student council at OVGU, the KanTe e.V. association, and numerous students and employees, the University takes a clear position against extreme right-wing views and in favour of intercultural thought and action.

Self-selected teams of students and employees at the University compete against runners from other organisations in Magdeburg. OVGU is the organisation with the most starter teams.

The aim of the High-Rise Race in the campus tower is to scale the 14 floors and 232 steps. The traditional competition has been organised by the University's sports centre and Magdeburg Student Union since 1999.

The University Triathlon is held every year by the USC in collaboration with the University Sports department of the University of Magdeburg. A particular incentive for the student sportsmen and women is that  they can measure their performance capabilities against the world's best athletes.
