Welcome Center
The Welcome Center of the U Bremen Research Alliance supports international researchers and their families before and during their stay in Bremen regardless of the length of their stay or how the stay is financed. As a central service point, it assists all newcoming researchers in non-academic matters to help organize their life in Bremen and make it as enjoyable and uncomplicated as possible. Whether you are here for a month or have been appointed to a permanent post, our services are available to you. Through a broad network of internal and external partners the Welcome Center provides a range of administrative and social services.
The information below will help you prepare for your stay in Bremen before arrival.
While planning and carrying out your research and professorship in Bremen, there are a number of formalities that you will need to take care of. The Welcome Center offers an initial orientation, as well as assistance completing all the these formalities.
We have gathered together a few helpful resources to help you settle in and adjust to your new surroundings.
In addition, the Welcome Center organises events primarily for international guest reseachers and their families.
We would like to have you in our alumni network and stay in touch with you even after you leave Bremen!
If you had a work contract here, make sure you check up on the status of your Pension Insurance before leaving.
