Dear Students, The City of Bratislava, together with four of the universities in Bratislava, cordially invites you to the Student Welcome Weekend, taking place on 20–21 September 2025. This is the first event of its kind, aiming to welcome both local and international students and to show that Bratislava is truly a City for Talent. Beyond excellent education, student life is also a time of personal growth, new friendships, and building communities. That is why we have prepared a two-day program full of discussions, workshops, cultural and community activities, where you can get to know the city and meet inspiring people.
Program Highlights:
- Student discussion with the Mayor – Saturday at 15:00, an open space for questions and debate about the future of Bratislava and student life.
- Workshops and panels on mental health, sustainability, entrepreneurship, and innovation.
- PhD Meetup at Čitáreň u Červeného Raka – networking for doctoral students from various fields.
- Community language and queer tables – meet diverse groups and make new connections.
- Student startup stories – inspiration from young people who launched projects during their studies.
- Bratislava 2035 workshops – co-create the vision of what the city could look like in ten years.
- KOLO – second-hand equipment sale for dormitories directly at Mlynská Dolina and Mladá Garda.
Why join?
- Bratislava officially welcomes you as new residents of the city.
