The Welcome Day for new staff members and doctoral researchers to kick off the winter semester took place on October 9th, 2024. Staff and researchers had the opportunity to learn more about FUB's structure and history, meet important contact persons from within the university and network with other new colleagues.
On April 9th, 2024, we once again welcomed new employees to FUB. After an introduction to the day by the Provost (temporarily entrusted with the performance of official duties) Andrea Güttner, presentations on the structure and history of the university followed. The new colleagues were then able to get an overview of the services offered by their new employer during short presentations by various contact persons and service centers at FUB and as part of a World Café. A joint lunch in the Mensa allowed the new staff members to get to know each other better and to start building their network.
