Academy Fund For Internationalising The University
The Academy for Science, Industry and Technology allocated 100,000 euros out of the »Academy Fund« to the University for the promotion of internationalisation in 2008. Since it was founded, this non-profit organisation has been raising these funds itself with its successful course programme. 80,000 euros of the fund will be distributed as scholarships, especially to cover tuition fees for international students who are in need of financial aid. The remaining 20,000 euros are intended for the promotion of international cooperation, for continuing education, development of new programmes and public relations.
University Foundation:
Since 2008, the University of Ulm has its own foundation, which is open for contributions of all kinds. The University’s Executive Committee actively seeks contributions, donations, sponsors and potential money sources, whether companies or private individuals and aims to advise them on the possibilities of meaningful support for the University of Ulm. The main aims of the foundation are to promote special research pro jects, expand childcare services, build a student residence hall and offer scholarships for certain target groups of students. The fundamental idea of a strong university is important for the city, the region and its people and is the basis for the diverse civilian commitment in support of the University from the founding phase up to today.

“Within the university ... you can study without waiting for any efficient or immediate result. You may search, just for the sake of searching, and try for the sake of trying. So there is a possibility of what I would call playing. It’s perhaps the only place within society where play is possible to such an extent.”
—Jacques Derrida (b. 1930)
