At the Oberpfalz Start-up HUB as part of the university’s start-up support, we receive many inquiries from students from non-EU countries who would like to start up a business or become self-employed in Germany.
The way to do this is simple in itself, but leads to complex terms like § 21 AufenthG.

What do I need as a non-EU citizen? What do I need as a non-EU citizen?“. The event will take place as a WorldCafé. This means that the various partners each have a table, which the participants visit during the course of the event. In the end, all participants have visited all partner tables and could ask their questions there.
The partners 2024 are:
- Julia Pirzer, IHK Oberpfalz/Kelheim
- Iris Monge-Siegert, AAU e.V.
- Martin Duschner, Sparkasse Oberpfalz Nord
- Ani Tovmasyan, Start-up projects SICHERO & CAREAWARE, founder Extra Planner

Grenzübergreifendes Mentoring-Programm „careerSTEPS“
Concerns/Category:
Das Mentoring-Programm „careerSTEPS“ ist ein Angebot für Masterstudierende und Promovierende der OTH Amberg-Weiden, aber auch für andere, die eine wissenschaftliche Karriere oder eine Laufbahn in der freien Wirtschaft anstreben und sich dafür noch mehr qualifizieren wollen oder sich noch nicht ganz sicher sind, was für sie der Traumjob wäre. Dabei steht den Teilnehmenden (Mentees) während des Mentoring-Zeitraumes ein*e erfahrener*e Mentor*in aus der Wissenschaft (z.B. Professor*in, wissenschaftliche Mitarbeitende, Promovierende) beratend zur Seite. Die Mentor*innen werden grenzübergreifend gesucht und angesprochen (für deutsche Bewerbende an der Westböhmischen Universität Pilsen, anderen tschechischen Universitäten und umgekehrt) und unterstützen die Mentees bei der Entscheidungsfindung zur Karriereplanung nach dem Abschluss in der Wissenschaft oder der Einstiegsphase ins Berufsleben.
Das Programm untergliedert sich in die nachfolgenden Etappen und läuft über einen Zeitraum von neun Monaten (Auftakt im November und Abschluss im Juli). Für jedes Tandem aus Mentee und Mentor*in werden wir das Programm und Inhalte extra maßgeschneidert entwerfen, um spezifisch alle Wünsche und Erwartungen des Tandems erfüllen zu können. Die Zusammenarbeit im Tandem findet in englischer Sprache statt.
Werbeaussagen:
Sind Sie sich nicht sicher, was Sie nach dem Abschluss machen möchten? Wäre Wissenschaft etwas für Sie?
Schwierige Entscheidung … Was würde mich in meinem Berufsleben interessieren? Wäre Wissenschaft etwas für mich?
Wie sieht eine wissenschaftliche Laufbahn denn aus? Gute Beispiele ziehen …
Die Welt endet nicht nach der Grenze, ich möchte meine Berufsmöglichkeiten um eine internationale Erfahrung aus dem wissenschaftlichen Bereich erweitern …
Wie kann man eine wissenschaftliche Laufbahn mit der Familie gut vereinbaren?
