Information sessions for expectant parents
The parent guides from Family Support offer individual advice on all questions relating to parental leave. Whether it's application deadlines, parental allowance regulations, or return-to-work planning, we support you with practical information and personal consultations.
The program is specifically designed to enable parents at KIT to achieve the best possible balance between family life and their scientific or professional careers. Start this special time well prepared. Contact us for an informational meeting—we are happy to assist you.
