The Equal Opportunity Office supports the reconciliation of research and family tasks. These grants and benefits are tailored to the scientific framework according to the longlasting experience and evaluations. Especially young researchers are in need of services that absorb the multiple responsibilities of research, teaching, networking and parenthood.
Beside this support the university subsidises the Kinderhaus Knirps & Co. and flexible child care that is open to all university members.
Please contact Tanja Edelhäußer for advice before applying.
