Introduction Day
To make sure you feel welcome and at home on our TU/e campus, both you and your partner will be invited to an introduction day for new employees. About once a month we send all new employees an email inviting them to a Welcome@TU/e Day.
This day offers valuable information about TU/e, Eindhoven, and the Netherlands. You will be able to connect with colleagues to directly start expanding your TU/e network. Partners can attend together or separately, especially if one joins later. The event will include representatives from the Get in Touch Program and Partner Career Support Program, who will warmly welcome your partner, address queries, and introduce them to the programs.
EXERCISE AT OUR SPORTS CENTER
In the heart of the campus you will find TU/e's Sports Center (SSC). Not only students, but also alumni, staff members ánd their partners are welcome to participate in the largest sports program in Eindhoven. Members of the SSC hail from all corners of the world. More than 100 different nationalities exercise weekly in and around the sports center. Sport itself is an easy way to build a (new) social life in Eindhoven, but next to all sports activities the SSC also organizes various other activities, such as an extensive Summer program. Whether you are 100% Dutch or have your roots in another country, the entire offer is bilingual: Dutch and English. Together with students and staff, the SSC provides a safe sports environment where everyone can feel at home.
Get in Touch Program
The Get in Touch (GiT) program helps international spouses find an anchoring in their new residence. It supports internationals to find their way in Eindhoven, build and strengthen their social networks and prepare themselves for new meaningful steps in their lives in a new environment. Eventually leading towards sense of ‘belonging’ here and feeling at home. In the past years, this program has grown into a broad service for international TU/e spouses. Please find more information on the ‘Get in Touch’ website.
Settling in the Brainport Region
Brainport Eindhoven in the Netherlands is the new home to many internationals in (or related to) the STEM field every year. And while the main reason to move to this region is for a better job opportunity, its new inhabitants soon realize that there is more than just a job in tech in the ‘home of pioneers.’
