Successful new appointments: Welcome to the University of Stuttgart!

Between June 2022 and June 2023, the University of Stuttgart recruited 27 outstanding researchers as new professors. To welcome them properly, a "Welcome Dinner" was held at the end of June. "We welcome you to our university and wish you a successful and fulfilling career. We are looking forward to your valuable contributions to research, teaching, and innovation," emphasized Rector Prof. Wolfram Ressel. "Your expertise and research work will further strengthen the profile of our university. It is important to establish networks and to live and breathe the interdisciplinarity that defines us and the Stuttgart Way."

The Rector delivered a short presentation on the university's vision, profile, research focus and current highlights, which was followed by a round of introductions of all new appointees. Afterwards, the new appointees were given the opportunity to get to know their colleagues, engage in professional exchange and initiate possible future collaborations.

Die Welcome-Veranstaltungs-Reihe für Neuberufene besteht aus Welcome Dinner, Lunch Meeting und einem abendlichen Empfang. Sie schafft seit 2015 eine wertschätzende Willkommenskultur, fördert die interdisziplinäre Vernetzung und ergänzt die Angebote für neue Beschäftigte, Auszubildende und Neuberufene. Auch Teilnehmer*innen der vorherigen Jahrgänge sowie Institute, Einrichtungen oder andere Personen der Universität Stuttgart werden einbezogen, um die vielen Facetten der Universität Stuttgart zu zeigen und den Austausch zu fördern.
