Viadrina Coworking
New Coworking Space
Opening
After five years of constructions and a number of challenges, the renovation work on the new coworking space at the European University Viadrina are nearly completed. The space will offer around 1,400 square metres for students, start-ups and guests to learn, work and talk to each other.
The opening will take place on 15 April 2026 at 5.30 pm after the Viadrina Debate.

Snacks, coffee and the library right next door: the cafeteria in Viadrina's Main Building is a good place for (collaborative) work in a café atmosphere. The homemade cakes are particularly recommended. But be careful: The risk of chatting here is particularly high.

Whether group projects, discussions or brainstorming sessions: between the future coworking space and the large lecture theatre in the Auditorium Maximum, you will find modular seating groups for working together or taking a breather. The proximity to the service point is not the only plus point: public printers and photocopiers can also help with your projects and meetings.
