Student life in the Upper Rhine is marked by various student initiatives of a political, sporting or cultural nature. These shape the idea of the European Campus beyond training and research.
Student Council
The Student Council of Eucor – The European Campus aims at defending the interests of students. It is composed of representatives of the respective student associations of the five member universities and is itself organised as an association. The members elect a president whose role is to represent the interests of the students in the European Campus bodies (see organisation of the alliance). The Student Council also participates in trinational student life, notably through the organisation of the Eucor Festival. Interested students are of course encouraged to take part in the Student Council of Eucor – The European Campus.

Tour Eucor
Connecting the five cities of the European Campus by bicycle thus experiencing European thinking in a very concrete way – this is the idea behind the Eucor Tour. Each year, some 120 participants take to the roads for five days to go from Karlsruhe to Strasbourg, then to Mulhouse, Basel and Freiburg, before returning to Karlsruhe. The students, staff and alumni of the five universities are involved, and have the opportunity to choose between several levels of difficulty and thus travel between 600 and 900 km on this tour. Run since 1998, the event born of a student initiative is now organised by an association founded specifically for this purpose, the Tour Eucor e.V..

Cultural exchange and events
Language cafés, visits to the theater, creative workshops, sports events, excursions to other university cities: these joint events are open to all students from the member universities of Eucor – The European Campus in order to develop a cross-border student life. The events enable intercultural encounters, shared experiences and an exchange beyond the scope of studies.
