Welcome Services - Toolkit for a smooth start for international students and researchers
About
Summary
The University of Göttingen invites colleagues from ENLIGHT partner institution to participate in our Staff Week organised from 5 - 8 May 2026. Welcome Services provide a wide range of support offers to help students and staff get off a good start:
- Learn from good practices and share your experiences;
- Meet our colleagues from our Incoming Office dealing with enrollment and integration of international degree seeking students;
- Get to know our Accommodation Office supporting incoming exchange and international degree seeking students to find a place to stay;
- Get an insight into the work of our Welcome Centre, a support service for international researchers staying for at least one month or longer.
The week consists of different activities (presenations, workshop, visit of facilities and leisure activities). Participants are invited to present their service offers.
A B2 level in English is recommended. To lower language barriers, you can join us also as a tandem.
