Childcare Possibilities

Within SFB BeyondC we want to ensure a family-friendly working environment. We have established policies and procedures to facilitate the achievement of a work-life balance of all members of the SFB.

  • The meetings within the research groups will be scheduled to fit the needs of young parents.
  • We will devote €1000 per year to support our SFB young families in covering the additional travel and accommodation costs for accompanying children during research visits or conferences. For more information, please contact beyondc@univie.ac.at.
  • All of the involved institutions provide several types of childcare support for their employees’ and students’ families and thus to all SFB members.

For example: All Max-Planck institutes are certified as family-friendly institutions; The Children’s office at the University of Innsbruck offers, among other possibilities, childcare during summer and other school holidays; IST Austria runs the child care center Froschkönig on campus; the programme “Flying Nanny” at University of Vienna offers support that is flexible in time and place during congresses, meetings, seminars, events, etc.
