Therefore, Wine and Dine will certainly be an interesting experience to everyone participating and we encourage people to join in this initiative,\u201d enthuses Lydie Polfer, Mayor of Luxembourg City. \u201cA fresh start in a new country might be socially challenging. The Wine and Dine project allows newcomers to meet locals and get to know their new environment more easily,\u201d adds Georges Mischo, the Mayor of Esch-sur-Alzette. \u201cI firmly believe that this initiative will not only help promote social cohesion in our city but will also make the activities happening within the City of Science more tangible for the whole population.\u201d<\/p><p>Anyone interested in becoming a \u201cWine and Dine\u201d host should\u00a0visit us at our information stand on 21 September\u00a0from 9.00 &#8211; 12.00 at the market in Esch-sur-Alzette, on 22 September from 9.00-16.00 in the Grand-Rue in Luxembourg,\u00a0email at\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:wineanddine@uni.lu\" target=\"_self\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">wineanddine@uni.lu<\/a>\u00a0or call 46 66 44-6562 before 3 October.<\/p><\/div><\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The University of Luxembourg is relaunching its event \u201cWine and Dine\u201d to welcome newly-arrived students and researchers to the country.
