As the local networking platform between corporate partners, CEMS Alumni and CEMS students we combine the academic program with corporate partners and social networking events. Highlight events of every semester include corporate events such as CEMSational Drinks with or company visits and social events like the Welcome Week, our traditional Running Dinner and various cultural events in the beautiful city of Vienna. To make the first days around Vienna a little easier, we put together this Welcome Guide for you, where you will find the most important information about the WU and its surroundings, CCV specific information (Locations and CEMSational Events that are already planned), and information on Vienna (public transportation system, sights, possible weekend-trips, traditional Viennese coffee houses). If you want to engage actively in the CCV, please come and join our first meeting of the semester on March 06, 6.00 pm in the CEMS Club Office (UZA 1, 1st floor, Core B, Institute of Change Management). Further meetings will be announced short-termed. We are convinced that your semester in Vienna will be a blast and are looking very much forward to meeting you all soon.
