Welcome Event for international guests and new international members of the University of Bamberg

We look forward to welcoming you to the annual Welcome Event for international guests and new international members of the University of Bamberg on Thursday, November 12, 2026, from 4:00 pm until approximately 5:30 pm, followed by a get-together with drinks and snacks! 

Whether you have only just arrived in Bamberg or have already been living here for some time, whether you are here for a short visit or staying longer – this event is a great opportunity to meet others and will provide you with valuable information for your time in Bamberg. 

After the opening remarks by our Vice President for Diversity and International Affairs, Prof. Sabine Vogt, several of the university's service facilities will give short presentations on the services they provide that may be of interest to you. To conclude the official part of the programme, Armin Gertz, a language instructor and intercultural trainer at our Language Centre, will lead an interactive intercultural session that promises to be both fun and intriguing. The entire event will be conducted in English. 

Finally, we are looking forward to a casual get-together with you over drinks and snacks. Professor Vogt and our colleagues from the service facilities will also be there – they will be happy to answer your questions and chat with you! 

The event will take place at Luitpoldstrasse 19, room LU19/00.09. You can find a Googlemaps link to the venue here. If you would like to use public transport, we recommend the VGN journey planner. The bus stop “Luitpoldstrasse” is very close to the venue.
