In­ter­na­tional Of­fice

Welcome to the International Office at Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology.

If you are mov­ing to Bre­men to work at MPI for Mi­cro­bi­o­logy and you are not a Ger­man cit­izen you will need to ar­range a few things prior to your ar­rival or shortly there­after.

The In­ter­na­tional Of­fice aims to provide a smooth and fast trans­ition for our vis­it­ors, guests, for­eign stu­dents, staff and their fam­ily. The of­fice as­sists with all form­al­it­ies dur­ing the set­tling-in period. Please con­tact us if you have any ques­tions.

A good start for non-Ger­mans is the guide “Liv­ing and work­ing in Ger­many” of the Max Planck So­ci­ety, which is in­ten­ded to help one get settled and feel at home in Ger­many, and to handle the daily busi­ness of liv­ing and work­ing here.
