Welcome to the Max Planck Institute for Infection Biology

Welcome to the Max Planck Institute for Infection Biology! We are happy to have you with us!

Moving to another country comes along with new challenges that can be a bit daunting. This page is aimed to navigate our future international colleagues through the first steps, regardless whether you are just about to arrive in Europe or are already an old hand in the German way of life. It is designed to help you make your move to Berlin as smooth as possible, so that you can focus on your scientific goals and your career here at the MPIIB right from the start.

On this page you will find information on topics such as finding an apartment, registering in Berlin, opening a bank account, obtaining a residence permit, etc. The Max Planck Institute for Infection Biology has an International Office, which is at the disposal of our international colleagues during their entire stay with us. We look forward to meeting you soon at the Max Planck Institute for Infection Biology.

Where to get settled in the first days or weeks?
