• Please scan the signed form and e-mail it – together with a scanned copy of your ID (or your passport and citizen’s registration certificate) – to the University IT support: itsupport uni-mannheim.de.
• If you are a student, please do also include a scan of your current student ID card.
• If you are an employee at a cooperating institution, please submit the registration form bearing the official stamp of your institution to prove your employment at this institution.
