A lot is different this year, but there is one thing we don’t want to change… and that is giving you and your family a warm welcome to your new hometown Rotterdam.
Therefore Rotterdam Expat Centre organizes the virtual Rotterdam Expat Welcome Event 2020 on Thursday November 26th, 2020. This event is especially for new expats coming to the Rotterdam region. Since the event is virtually this year, your family abroad is also very welcome to join and learn more about your new hometown.
About the Rotterdam Expat Welcome Event
The event will be hosted in collaboration with Rotterdam Venture Café. In the first part Rotterdam Expat Centre will show you how to tap into all this potential that Rotterdam offers you and your family. You will learn more about Rotterdam, the Dutch culture and its habits. In the second part you get the opportunity to meet and network virtually with fellow expats and expat communities. In the final part you may decide to follow additional workshops whereby experts share more on topics such as the Dutch health insurance, Dutch tax system or give tips how to start your career in The Netherlands as a spouse.

Expats in Rotterdam support group
Our mission is to create a community of expats in Rotterdam and to support each other during the integration process. We know how difficult it can be to find friends in a new country or how frustrating the job hunting process can be, so we want to lift each other up and hopefully create strong bonds over time.
International Women Networking Group
This group is for International Women in Rotterdam who are looking for support and opportunities to collaborate and socialize with other professional women.
