Other initiatives and institutions that presented their programs include the CVAG (the town's public transport agency), the "Chemnitz Forum glauben&denken" (a religious forum), or the hospital (Klinikum Chemnitz), which even offered visitors the opportunity to have their thyroid examined via a sonography.
The Faculty of Humanities at CUT was present on the second floor of the university building at Straße der Nationen (where the whole event took place), including some lecturers of the EAS department. The main attraction there was a trailer for a movie which was created in the frame of Prof. Dr. Cecile Sandten's seminar "Home/Heimat". The stand of the FacHum also featured placards dealing with and criticizing the plagiarism affair of Germany's former Minister of Defence, Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg.

The event had its start in the "Altes Heizhaus" building in the patio. Barbara Ludwig, Lord Mayor of Chemnitz, Prof. Dr. Klaus-Jürgen Matthes, president of the CUT, and Dr. Urs Luczak, who opened the "Parcours" with his speech, welcomed the guests and lecturers to the Year of Science. Before and after the speeches, the CUT BigBand provided musical entertainment.
