Membership Process

Postgraduate Colloquia

About 20 to 25 selected participants with diverse professional backgrounds are invited once a year to a seminar weekend to discuss a range of international issues with topical speakers and the leaders of the Kreis.

The results of these meetings support the project work of the Tönissteiner Kreis.

All participants fit the Tönissteiner criteria. The weekends are useful to get to know the members and to win initiates for the Kreis.
