Workshop on study, work, and living conditions of international students at UP
Location: Am Neuen Palais, House 9, Room 0.19
Time: Tuesday June 16, 2 pm - 4:30 pm

The International Office invites students, researchers and staff to the Internationalization Workshop, which focuses on improving the academic, living, and working conditions for international students at UP.
Together, we would like to work on Goal 5 of the planned internationalization strategy: How can we truly welcome international students and researchers into our university community? How can we successfully engage, integrate, and support them in the long term?
Our goal is to go beyond mere hospitality and create a genuine sense of belonging—with the long-term aim of encouraging them to stay in our region.
