Measures in the Area of Compatibility
The German Research Foundation (DFG) promotes measures to balance science and family for scientists. The University of Cologne offers a wide range of measures in this regard.
Network specific measures can be discussed in a personal conversation. Please do not hesitate to contact us!
If you would like to participate in the employment pooling for compatibility measures, the contact person for all measures is Rebekka Elkenhans, r.elkenhans(at)verw.uni-koeln.de. Further information on employment pooling can be found under this link.
