Researcher's Roundtable
Social events for researchers in Osnabrück
Let's explore Osnabrück together
Are you a PhD student, Post-Doc or academic staff member in Osnabrück and looking for other reseachers to exchange ideas and experiences with?
Osnabrück University and Osnabrück University of Applied Sciences invite you to join our social events! We meet in changing locations in Osnabrück and offer a variety of leisure activites. Here you can chat with other doctoral candidates in a relaxed atmosphere and exchange ideas about your research and common interests. In addition to international researchers, there are usually also some German PhD student joining our activities.
We look forward to meeting you!
Upcoming events
We invite you to hike with us in the Teutoburgerwald Forest and climb the Hermannsturm! From the top of the tower we will have a fantastic view over the Osnabrück region!
We meet at the bus stop “Oesede Herrenrest” at 2 pm. You can get there by bus number 466. You can find the exact timetable here (page 9) or in the VOS app. Scheduled arrival at the bus stop “Oesede Herrenrest” is at 1:53 pm.
If you are traveling by car, please park at the Herrenrest hiking parking lot. One of us will also be there at 2 pm and will join the rest of the group with you.
You are welcome to bring a picnic and remember to wear weatherproof clothing and suitable (hiking) shoes!
The walk is approx. 5 km long. We will be back at the bus stop at 4:14 pm to take the bus back to Osnabrück.
It is not necessary to register in advance. We look forward to a lovely afternoon in the forest!


Are you new in Osnabrück and curious to find out more about the city? Or have you been living here for a while and would like to get new insights? Then our free guided tour "Legends about Osnabrück" is just right for you:
There are many legends, stories and myths about Osnabrück, but is there any truth to them? Did the river Hase get its name from an animal, is the lion poodle really a zoological wonder? Were there or are there underground passages in the city or were witches really chased through the Hexengang?
We meet at 5:45 pm in front of the Tourist Information Office. The tour lasts 1.5 hours. Afterwards, we would like to invite you to join us for a drink in the ALEX. Of course you can also come directly to the ALEX, if you do not want to join the city tour. We will be there at 7:30 pm.
We look forward to an interesting city tour and our get-together afterwards! It is not necessary to register in advance - just drop by!

Do you like playing board games as much as we do? If so, join our international game night! This time our game night will take place at the home of one of our participants. Thanks for the invitation, Phyu Phyu!
We will meet at 6:30 pm at Sparkasse Lerchenstraße and then go to Phyu Phyu's together. If you have been to Phyu Phyu's place before, you can of course go there directly.
We will bring a few fun games that also work well in English. If you would like to bring your own games, feel free to do so!
No prior registration is required - just come along! Don't forget to bring some snacks and drinks :)
