Iranian Students Association Aachen
(ISA Aachen e.V.)

Aachen is known as one of Germany’s major academic hubs, attracting students from all over the world. Iranians are among the most prominent international communities in the city, and Iranian students represent the sixth largest group of international students at RWTH Aachen University.

 

The Iranian Students Association Aachen e.V. – commonly known as ISA Aachen – was founded in 2009 by a group of Iranian students at RWTH and FH Aachen. As a non-profit, non-political and student-based association, ISA aims to enhance the academic, cultural, and social experience of Iranian students through volunteer work and collective engagement.

Vision and Objectives

The ISA mission is driven by four core goals:

  • Supporting Iranian students during their entire academic journey through counseling, academic guidance, skill-building workshops, and peer support.
  • Facilitating integration into the German and international communities by promoting cultural exchange, social inclusion, and mutual understanding
  • Promoting cultural identity and connection to the Iranian heritage through celebrations such as Nowruz, Yalda Night, cultural exhibitions, and film screenings.
  • Empowering students for their future professions by hosting career seminars, resume workshops, networking sessions, and mentoring programs with alumni and professionals.
  •  

Activities and Achievements

ISA has evolved from a small student initiative into a dynamic, structured organization known for its wide range of programs in:

  • Culture and Arts: Traditional celebrations, film nights, cultural showcases, and art exhibitions.
  • Academic and Scientific Events: Conferences, panel discussions, research forums, and guest lectures.
  • Social and Recreational Events: Group trips, picnics, sports competitions, and community game nights.
  • Career and Personal Development: Language workshops, resume clinics, career panels, and intercultural communication training.

Structure and Membership

ISA currently has 21 full active members and over 800 members. The association is composed of an executive board, specialized committees, and volunteer working groups. All activities are organised and carried out by dedicated student volunteers.
