Services

When you move to another country, everything is new: the language, the environment and above all the culture. The Welcome Service is your primary contact for you, your family and your employer. We will support you in gaining a foothold at the Potsdam Science Park and in the region as quickly as possible.

At a time when we are all permanently interconnected digitally, the line between our working life and our private life is becoming increasingly blurred. We can find a balance when both areas of our life are flexibly interlocked with each other.

As the network hub of all the partners at the Potsdam Science Park, we help you take good care of yourself. Because a successful work-life integration requires a strong awareness of your own personal resources.

At the Potsdam Science Park we welcome up to 750 young scientists from all over the world every year. They get to know the park and the region from different perspectives, and many decide to build a long-term future in their new home.

We would like to support these plans with our programmes and thus excite highly qualified professionals about the Potsdam Science Park and the Berlin/Brandenburg region for the long term.

At the Potsdam Science Park, brilliant scientists meet research-oriented companies and young start-ups. Every day, more than 12,500 people create an environment in the Science Park that inspires innovation and creativity. Potsdam Science Park is rapidly developing into an internationally renowned location for innovative solutions that offers students, young scientists and qualified specialists many opportunities.

At the Potsdam Science Park, you have several options to enjoy lunch with colleagues at lunchtime. There are three canteens to choose from: at the Max Planck Institute for Colloids and Interfaces, the Fraunhofer Campus and the University of Potsdam Mensa Golm. All have beautiful outdoor spaces for use during good weather. The cafeteria in the library serves breakfast, snacks and drinks, which can also be enjoyed outside in good weather on wooden benches under the maple trees.

In Potsdam, the bicycle is the first choice for many routes. The bicycle-friendly city has a well-developed network of cycling paths that will take you from the central station to the Park in about half an hour. If you arrive without your own bike, you can rent bikes at two nextbike stations in the Science Park via the free nextbike app. There are also special offers for University of Potsdam students.
