Welcome Center for International Scholars
The Welcome Center of the International Office is the central service center for international researchers at the University of Mannheim. We provide international researchers with information, personal advice and targeted support during the entire relocation process from the preparation of your arrival through to your departure.
We also advise host chairs and faculty supervisors before inviting international researchers and are available to answer questions related to the relocation process.
