Opportunity for spouses

Currently the MPI for Biology of Ageing has cooperation with the University of Cologne´s placement office. They can assist in locating appropriate jobs for the spouses of MPI employees provided that these positions are open and are available.

Daycare / schools

The IO keeps an updated list of all international and bi-lingual schools in the Cologne/ Bonn area. We also have cooperation with several daycares near the institute. Places are limited, so please contact the IO as soon as possible if you need a spot reserved for your child.
