Stammtisch

Das International Welcome Center der Universität Rostock und das Welcome Center Region Rostock laden mehrmals im Jahr

  • alle internationalen Doktoranden und Forschenden,
  • in Rostock Neuangekommene
  • sowie deren Freunde, Familie und Interessierte

zum Stammtisch ein. Dieser bietet die Möglichkeit, einfach einen netten Abend in einer Gruppe Gleichgesinnter aus verschiedenen Bereichen zu verbringen und sich dabei über verschiedenste Themen, wie z. B. das Leben in Rostock, eigene Projekte, Networking oder Karrieremöglichkeiten auszutauschen.

Kultur

Ein wichtiger Teil eines Auslandsaufenthaltes ist der kulturelle Austausch. Um die eigene Kultur zu reflektieren und um „Land und Leute“ in Rostock, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern und darüber hinaus kennenzulernen, organisiert das International Welcome Center zusammen mit Netzwerkpartnern in unregelmäßigen Abständen kulturelle Veranstaltungen und Ausflüge.

Bildung und Networking

Im Veranstaltungsbereich Bildung und Networking möchte das International Welcome Center Ihnen Bildungsangebote bieten und Sie bei der (fachlichen) Vernetzung mit Akteuren der lokalen Wirtschaft und mit anderen Mitgliedern der Universität und aus deren An-Instituten unterstützen.

German Christmas Evening

2019-12-12

Experience the magic of traditional German “Weihnachten” with us!

Dear international PhD students,
Postdocs, Visiting Scientists and
friends of our Welcome Center,

we would like to invite you to a very merry Christmas event!

Smell the scent of freshly baked biscuits, enjoy a cup of mullded red wine while your kids learn how to craft little Christmas ornaments. Feel at home in the sparkling lights of the traditional Christmas tree with typical “Lametta”, carol singing and some other surprises we’ve prepared for you – because in Germany, there can be no Christmas without a little “Heimlichkeit” (secrecy)!

Bring your children and friends with you and join in our traditional “Weihnachtsfeier” – just like we celebrate Christmas in our families. Exchanging little presents is of course a very important part of the Christmas feeling, so we’d like to invite you to bring a nicely wrapped gift (average value of 5 Euros) which will be hidden under the Christmas tree and passed out during the event.

Please send us a short reply via email whether you’d like to join our German “Weihnachten” and if you’d like to bring your partner and/or children and if you want to bring a gift.

We can’t wait to celebrate this magical season with you!

You are also invited to bring your CV and maybe even hand it in directly. So, don’t miss the chance to meet professionals interested in helping you to achieve your professional goals!
