Introduction days for new TU/e employees and for their spouses

The TU/e frequently organizes English spoken ‘central introduction days’. These introduction days are specially designed for the university's new international employees, and also for their spouses / partners.

We warmly invite you and your spouse to participate in one of these days.

The two of you can participate together, but your spouse / partner can also participate independently, for instance if (s)he joins you later.

Objectives of the day

We organize these introduction days with several objectives in mind:

  • to extend a word welcome to you
  • to provide you with information about the TU/e, Eindhoven and the Netherlands
  • to explore some basics of 'the' Dutch culture with you
  • to help you and your partner get to know other internationals @ TU/e.

About the program

During these introduction days different speakers will provide you with information about:

  • the university
  • the city of Eindhoven
  • The Netherlands

We will take you on a campus tour, with visits to the TU/e sport center, the library and the language center.

During lunch, we will be joined by representatives of the TU/e network of international accompanying spouses.

They are there to welcome your spouse / partner, to answer questions that (s)he may have and to inform them about the special program that the university invites them to.

During the afternoon workshop you can, in a playful matter, explore your own cultural values and compare those with 'the' dutch ones.

The day will end with drinks and snacks in the TU/e Grand Cafe de Zwarte Doos ('the Black Box').
