Many universities are establishing welcome offices, welcome centres or visitors’ offices on their campuses. Different names, but a similar purpose – to support international students, doctoral students and staff in adapting to life in a new place. This poster provides the example of the welcome office at Gdańsk Tech in Poland, illustrating how the role of such an office evolves over time.
