Moving to the Netherlands and leaving your trusted environment behind can be a huge challenge. VU Amsterdam would like to support you on this major life change and provides services to senior researchers to make this transition as smooth as possible, especially if you come with your partner and/or family. Also after your arrival at VU Amsterdam, we will assist you with settling in the Netherlands and make sure that you will easily find your way around VU Amsterdam.
Throughout the year, we schedule various workshops for international staff (and accompanying partners). Currently the workshops offer contains:
- A career workshop for partners / spouses in order to give advice about entering the Dutch labour market, how to design and write a CV according to Dutch standards and how to adjust a LinkedIn profile to be found easily by Dutch employers
- A workshop of the Dutch educational environment: culture shock and managing expectations
- A Dutch tax Information workshop
Are you interested to participate in one of these workshops or do you have suggestions for any other topics, please feel free to let us know.
