The "Orientation in Studying" series of the state universities in OWL will take place from 15 October 2025 to 21 January 2026 and offers students an online lecture every fortnight with impulses for study-related questions, doubts or requests for change.

It is often not a lack of talent, but a non-academic family background that prevents young people from realising their opportunities to study.

Now 17 more schools from the region have been included in the programme.
