as of November 1st, canteen vouchers can be issued to students enrolled at the Technical University Darmstadt (TUDa) or the Hochschule Darmstadt (h_da) at GSI again.
Students from the following institutions and departments are eligible if their stay at GSI is study related:
TUDa (Technische Universität Darmstadt):

This list of institutions and departments is not exhaustive and may be expanded in the future.
To do so, the department (at TUDa or h_da) must apply for admission to the Studierendenwerk Darmstadt.
The Studierendenwerk Darmstadt will then inform GSI of any new eligible instituion.
ALL students are requested to provide a confirmation from their supervisors each semester!
The confirmation template can be found here. Students need to be able to show this document to the Studierendenwerk on demand.
Students can pick up the canteen vouchers once per month at the welcome office during opening hours.
The number of vouchers depends on how many days per week the student is present at GSI.
For collection of the vouchers, please bring your student ID as well as the confirmation from your supervisor.
Students hand in the canteen vouchers to the caterer when purchasing food, and an amount of €1.15 is deducted from the price of the meal.
