The ESO offices in Germany are located in the Garching campus, which is one of the largest in Europe and which hosts several Astronomical Research Institutes. The Vitacura campus in Chile with the ESO and ALMA offices inhabits a lively scientific environment with almost 100 astronomers. ESO students in Chile have the opportunity to visit the observatory sites and to get involved in technical projects that allow insights into instrumentation or science operation. All ESO students are invited to participate in outreach activities; in Garching this is especially encouraged, as the ESO Supernova center is adjacent to the ESO office building.<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'> <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>The ESO Offices for Science both in Garching and Chile offer a rich variety of seminars, topical and daily science coffees and events, which create a stimulating scientific environment.
