Organization and tasks

The SHUG is a non-profit association based in Kiel. Its aim is defined in the statutes to promote the transfer of knowledge from the university to the population in Schleswig-Holstein and North Schleswig and thereby, on the one hand, to maintain and strengthen the relationship between the state of Schleswig-Holstein and its state university and, on the other hand, to promote the university integrate the campus into school and general education.

The University Society is organized in 49 voluntary sections with around 4600 members in Schleswig-Holstein and North Schleswig. The sections organize a program of lectures, member evenings and excursions, sometimes in the form of e.g. B. University weeks and nights of science. University lecturers from all eight faculties of the CAU give lectures in the respective lecture room of the section, usually followed by a discussion. This working model, which has been developed since the 1920s, is unique in Germany. Furthermore, the SHUG offers student-friendly individual lectures at schools in its Uni comes to school program , with which v. a. the interest in the MINT subjects (mathematics, computer science, natural sciences, technology) should be aroused and promoted.

The SHUG is managed by a voluntary board. This is accompanied by assessors, with each faculty of the CAU being represented by an assessor.

Since 2009, the SHUG's funding work has focused on two prizes for outstanding performance inside and outside the CAU. The Faculty Prize is awarded to an outstanding dissertation, with the winners coming every year from a different CAU faculty. The Professor-Miethke- Förderpreis recognizes , also annually, professional and research commitment outside of the universities and research institutions on a given general topic.
