Social Life

The Neuherberg campus has a lot to offer besides science: The central meeting place for all students is the Graduate Students’ Cafe, and there are numerous sports facilities for activities such as soccer, beach volleyball or tennis. DINI, the graduate students’ initiative, regularly organizes activities especially for graduate students, and members of the Welfare Association at Helmholtz Zentrum München can rent various holiday apartments at favorable prices.

DINI

The DINI is a free association of graduate students. There are no special requirements (except being a graduate student) and no fixed duties. Every member should have the motivation to improve the situation of the graduate students during his or her time of study at Helmholtz Zentrum München.

We are organising activities of the graduate students community, connect Graduate Office, management and graduate students, e.g. during the speakers convention, and provide information for the graduate students at Helmholtz Zentrum München.
