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.

Registration of International Scholars by the Chairs and Institutes

We ask all chairs and institutes to inform us about their plans to invite an international researcher ideally 3–4 months in advance.

Please complete a short registration form. As soon as we receive it, we will begin assisting you and your guest in all non-academic matters long before his or her arrival and/or start of employment.

Here, international researchers will find comprehensive information about all necessary formalities to be dealt with before and during their stay at the University of Mannheim:

The Guesthouse offers temporary accommodation in the immediate vicinity of the campus. Please make your reservation as early as possible as we only have a limited number of apartments available.
