Betriebssportgemeinschaft Forschungszentrum Jülich 1963 e.V.
BSG and its Objectives
Our objective is to provide our approximately 2200 members with diverse sports and leisure activities under modern conditions. As the largest association in the Düren district, we cover almost all areas of popular sport in more than 50 sports groups, including, for example, swimming for children, fishing, weightlifting and chess, as well as qigong and aikido. This is rounded off by regular family events and new courses, and by regular participation in and organization of international sports meetings with other European research institutions. Community spirit is central to us, and all our activities reflect the special Status of BSG as the sports association of Forschungszentrum Jülich.
