Council of Indian Students (CIS)
Due to the ever increasing number of Indian students at the RWU, the students from India have decided to found a council under the simple motto "With the students, for the students, from the students". Since its foundation in 2016, the Council of Indian Students has been committed to creating a homogeneous and homely atmosphere for Indian students who wish to attend one of the many courses at the university and for the students who live here. The CIS promotes a healthy and friendly cooperation not only between the Indians, but all of them.
CIS also wants to celebrate the numerous Indian festivals, so that the students do not miss their families. CIS is also committed to intercultural and interreligious festivals and traditions. An annual cricket tournament in the summer semester is also on the programme.

STUBE
STUBE is an organization for, with, and by students from Africa, Asia, Latin America, and Eastern Europe with a focus on international development. STUBE Baden-Württemberg was founded in 1983 and offers weekend workshops, one-day seminars, and other informational events. Members exchange knowledge and experience with students from other parts of the world, find support for their own initiatives, and get help finding internships. Students at STUBE also build networks and establish contacts within the business community, political institutions, and civic organizations. STUBE seeks to prepare students for the return to their home country, and follows up with them after their return by maintaining a database for the exchange of information.
STUBE offers very interesting workshops on various topics. The costs for overnight accommodation and meals as well as travel expenses within Baden-Württemberg (local trains and 2nd class Interregio-Express - no IC/EC or ICE) are usually covered for STUBE students. Generally, students must only contribute a small participation fee of €15.00, which is used to help offset travel expenses. €8.00 is charged as a participation fee for one-day events.
Brochures for the workshops and seminars are available in the information room of the International Office. The organization is primarily intended for students from Africa, Asia, Latin America, and Eastern Europe, but students from other countries can also participate in the workshops - subject to availability.
