About us
PAK e.V.
The PAK e.V. is a student initiative. We are a team of students from a wide range of disciplines who came together in 2007 to promote Aachen's cultural and event landscape in the best possible way for students. The aim is to promote and organize interdisciplinary events at RWTH Aachen University in order to enrich student and social life with cultural events.
Our most important events are definitely the Aktivenfete, the Studifest, and Louder than Karl, which all take place annually. With the Volunteer Award, which we launched in 2023 and which has been organized mainly by the AStA of RWTH Aachen University in cooperation with us since 2026, and the Aktivenfete, we want to express our appreciation and gratitude to volunteers for their commitment and provide them with an opportunity to network with each other. At the Studifest, students can show the citizens of Aachen that they do more than just study. Student councils, student organizations, clubs, and the AStA present themselves with colorful stands on the Katschhof in Aachen. Music and a relaxed atmosphere make it easy to strike up a conversation. Since 2023, we have also been organizing Louder than Karl twice a year, which is the only metal open air festival in Aachen featuring regional and international Bands and musicians perform on Platanenplatz at Templergraben, directly in front of the main building of RWTH Aachen University, where a stage is set up and a large audience of metal fans of all ages gather. We also try to support other student groups in their projects and events, whether with equipment that can be borrowed, expertise, or simply manpower at the numerous student events at RWTH Aachen University.
We would love to organize even more activities for you and are open to all ideas. So why not drop by and join in?
