ESS Family Support
Welcome to Sweden, Denmark and the European Spallation Source!
Moving to another country is often not an individual decision, it is a family decision. It is of great importance to ESS that the entire family feels comfortable and at home as soon as possible after relocating to Sweden or Denmark. To assist our families in this process, ESS offers help before and after the actual move.
Please check your relocation package for more details to see exactly what level of support you are entitled to.
ESS Family Forum
The ESS Family Forum helps the families of ESS employees keep on top of what is happening at ESS and in the area, as well as establish a local network of friends and colleagues. We also give support to those who are interested in finding employment.
ESS Welcome Letter
Upon arrival, you will receive an e-mail Welcome Letter with useful information for your first period in Sweden/Denmark. The e-mail will include important tips, links and attachments for you and your family.
ESS Welcome Fika with Lund International Citizen Hub (LICH)
The Human Resources Division, together with Lund International Citizen Hub (LICH), organise Welcome Fikas where all accompanying families and partners are welcome. The Swedish word 'fika' (fee-kah) refers to the popular, traditional activity of having a cup of coffee or tea with friends, accompanied by something sweet to eat (read more here). The fikas usually take place at LICH (Lund International Citizen Hub)- see information below.
