The International Office is the primary contact point for international researchers and staff at the UFZ. To support your start in Germany, we provide guidance on the visa process and outline the essential steps required in preparation for your stay. Throughout your time at the UFZ, we offer support with matters concerning residence permits, accommodation, and − upon completion of your research stay − the formal offboarding procedures.

In addition, we coordinate initiatives that encourage intercultural exchange and provide resources for independent language learning.

We hope you enjoy your stay, feel welcome, and have a successful time at the UFZ!
