Dear International
Researcher,
without a
doubt Frankfurt is one of Germany's most international cities, a city of
encounters and intellectual enrichment. This impressive academic, logistical,
cultural and financial hub with its long history has always depended on
exchange with different people and nations. For more than a century, Goethe
University has been able to contribute to this unique urban blend that
constitutes Frankfurt. Ever more so today, as the global environmental, health
and financial challenges call for truly committed academic cooperation and
exchange. In our rapidly changing world, increased internationalization and a
high number of internationally mobile researchers directly benefit Goethe
University’s research output and the education of our nearly 50.000 students.
As part of the
University’s strategic efforts to strengthen and enhance its international ties,
I am very glad that the Goethe Welcome Centre has taken on the responsibility
to take care of our international guests. Researchers, scientists and doctoral
candidates from all over the world will find a welcoming atmosphere at our
university, making their arrival and stay as unbureaucratic as possible. Goethe
Welcome Centre offers a wide range of services to support and guide you through
all the non-academic formalities and aspects of your stay in Frankfurt. Be it
the search for accommodation, the city's administrative red tape or colorful social
and cultural events: our University will take care of you!
Together
with Goethe Welcome Centre’s staff, I would like to welcome you to Goethe
University and wish you a great and most productive stay in Frankfurt: Herzlich willkommen an der Goethe-Universität!
Sincerely,
Enrico Schleiff
President
of 51ÁÔÆæ Frankfurt
