The RWTH Faculty Club provides a hub for exchange and relationship-building – new ideas can be tested, the synapses of our actors can be “networked,” and we can meet to engage in an open conversation among ourselves and with our guests without following an agenda. May the Faculty Club develop into another component of the “Aachen Way,” a location where the future is being thought out – interesting, desirable, and enriching!
