Newsletter from International Staff Support
Our newsletter premieres on January 27 and is aimed for new employees and fellows. The newsletter will be sent once a month - if you choose to subscribe.
The newsletter focuses on topics related to your employment / stipend but needs to be handled by you privately such as pension, declaration, private insurance. We will inform about activities in Umeå, other things that might be valuable and have interviews with "colleagues" at the university.
There will hopefully be a mixture of everything and something for everyone.
Read the first newsletter and start subscribing!
