Play, Learn, Connect: Join the INGENIUM Chess Club!
The INGENIUM alliance is making its next strategic move — and you’re invited to be part of it.
We are excited to announce the launch of the INGENIUM Chess Club, a new cross-university initiative bringing together students and staff from across our INGENIUM Partner Universities. Whether you are a seasoned tournament player, a casual enthusiast, or someone curious to learn the game, this club is open to all.
Chess is more than a game: it sharpens strategic thinking, fosters creativity, and builds connections across cultures and disciplines. The INGENIUM Chess Club will provide a welcoming space to play, learn, and compete online.
The INGENIUM Chess Club was founded to promote inclusion, integration and a strong sense of belonging within the INGENIUM community. Chess is an inclusive and accessible game that has regained popularity in recent years, bringing together people from diverse backgrounds around a shared interest. By encouraging interaction, strategic thinking and social connection, the club supports student well-being and community building. This student-led initiative is supported by Work Package 9.4 on health, well-being and student initiatives, as well as by the INGENIUM Students Board.
What to expect:
- Friendly and competitive online games across the INGENIUM network
- Online matches, tournaments, and challenges connecting players across Europe
- Opportunities to represent your university in inter-INGENIUM events
- A vibrant community where students and staff play side by side
By joining the INGENIUM Chess Club through Chess.com, you become part of a unique European community united by curiosity, strategy, and collaboration.
Make your move. Think ahead. Play together.
