University of Tübingen, Germany

Home to the renowned Eberhard Karls University of Tübingen, founded in 1477, the city has long been a center of medical and scientific innovation. The university’s hospitals and research institutes are internationally recognized, particularly in the fields of neurology, neurosurgery, and neuroscience.

Tübingen’s old town is famous for its well-preserved half-timbered houses, cobblestone streets, and the Neckar River, where traditional punts (boats) glide peacefully through the water. Cafés, bookshops, and quiet courtyards make the city ideal for reflective walks or informal networking outside the congress halls.
