Well connected
The family-friendly University of Graz is a member of the following networks
In order to continuously develop the compatibility service and support the work-family balance of its members, the family-friendly University of Graz is in dialogue with numerous subject-specific national and international networks.
Through these networks, you as a researcher can get in touch with family-friendly universities in Austria, Germany, and Switzerland if you’d like to inquire about their family-friendly policies as part of a visiting fellowship or when applying for a position.
The UniKid–UniCare Austria network of Austria’s public universities is committed to fostering a university culture in which balancing work or study with care responsibilities is the norm.
Familie in der Hochschule e.V. aims to establish the compatibility of studies, work and academic pursuits with family responsibilities within the German-speaking higher education sector and to further develop this within the wider higher education network. Families come in many forms and deserve our appreciation and support in every form.
Here you will find all 161 member institutions of Familie in der Hochschule e.V. in Germany, Austria and in Switzerland. In addition to their contact details, you can also view the institutions’ statements and objectives.
A family-friendly concept includes various individual measures and projects originating from different departments and institutes - these are summarised and regularly reviewed as part of the hochschuleundfamilie audit. The University of Graz has been awarded the state seal of approval as a family-friendly university.
The "Unternehmen für Familien" network was set up by the Federal Ministry for Families and Youth to connect companies and municipalities that are interested in and/or already committed to a family-conscious personnel or municipal policy.
The aim of this project is to improve family friendliness in science. As part of this project, the networking of family service centres and those responsible for family friendliness at German-speaking universities and non-university research institutions will be promoted and stabilised.
