Teatime in the botanical garden – University of Innsbruck
Social events for international researchers and professionals are coordinated by the Welcome Service Tirol team at the location agency. These very warm meetings, whether it’s a regulars’ table in a small group or the big autumn event for the whole family with a guided tour of the Alpine Zoo, offer a good opportunity to network with other internationals and people who have recently moved to Tyrol in a pleasant atmosphere.
The newly developed “meet the locals” format, which the Welcome & Dual Career Service designed together with the alumni network at the Transfer Office Science-Business-Society, goes one step further. The first event took place on September 30, 2022 in the Botanical Garden. After an exciting guided tour by Maria Holoubek through the current tea exhibition and the greenhouses, alumni of the university as locals were able to exchange ideas and network with international specialists from 11 countries and from different industries until late in the afternoon at the subsequent tea and strudel tasting. Due to the great success, further meetings are planned from 2023.
