Accommodation

For visiting researchers there is the possibility to apply for a flat in the Haus der Begegnung , the university's guest house (contact: Mrs Strobl). Altogether there are only 14 flats available, and unfortunately little playing space exists in accommodation.

As a matter of principle, teaching staff is requested to be available to support their doctoral candidates and research associates with the search for housing.

The Akademisches Auslandsamt has created an overview of accommodation possibilties that can at least be helpful for bridging the gap between the first few weeks or for short term stays .
