We enjoyed a very interesting city tour through the festively decorated Graz with our amazing tour guide David, who has shown us the most beautiful corners of the city, introduced us to the many nice advent markets, and told us many fun Christmas anecdotes.
Afterwards, we invited our guests to the cute Christmas market on the Murinsel, where we enjoyed mulled wine and punch in extraordinary atmosphere.
We hope this tour was the perfect start of your holidays and we look forward to seeing you again soon in 2025!
CINT Volunteers Anuja and Marija successfully hosted the last Stammtisch of the year.

We had the pleasure of diving deep into the Austrian pension system with expert guidance from the tax consultants at BDO. Their comprehensive presentation covered essential topics such as social security, pension insurance, and taxes. The session wasn’t just about facts and figures—it was an opportunity to address common questions, empowering participants with a clearer understanding of how the system works and what it means for their future.
A heartfelt thank you to the team of BDO for hosting us at their location in Graz and for generously sharing their knowledge.

This exclusive clubbing event, which we co-hosted with the Federation of Styrian Industries, brought together international students, professionals, and community members in Graz for an evening of networking, fun, and discovery.
Veronika and Evelin were there to represent CINT and give on-site consultation for international students, who might soon bring new impulses as highly qualified future employees of successful companies located in Styria. Our CINT information booth was buzzing with visitors eager to learn about the support we offer to global talents. It was fantastic to see so much curiosity and enthusiasm for what Styria has to offer—whether it’s as a vibrant hub for career opportunities or a welcoming home away from home.
A highlight of the night was the exciting lottery, where three lucky winners walked away with a one-year CINT membership! We can’t wait to support these three international students on their journey in Styria.
We were also delighted to see some of our valued CINT members who followed our invitation to join the event
A huge thank you to our cooperation partner SFG, who gave us the opportunity to once again promote Styria as a business location, and the Federation of Styrian Industries for the excellent organization. Together, we are building bridges, fostering connections, and showcasing why Styria is a top destination for global talents.
