Newsletter "Family-Friendly University", Issue 12 - December 2023

Dear students and employees,

Shortly before the holidays, we would like to briefly inform you about news, projects and current measures at Paderborn University with regard to a family-friendly university. This concerns the compatibility of studying/working and parenthood as well as the compatibility of caring and working/studying.


Topics in the current newsletter: (German only)

  • Dr Annika Hegemann is the new Central Equal Opportunities Officer and talks about the compatibility of care responsibilities and academic work
  • State programme Career & Care
  • PUKi - News from Paderborn Uni Kids
  • Children's holiday camps 2024
  • "StuKi - Studying with children" initiative flourishes again
  • Parent-child room opened in the University Library
  • Daycare centre navigator: Allocation of places
  • Innovations in nursing care 2024
  • Studierendenwerk opens treasure trove
  • Event information: for parents, children/young people and family carers


You are welcome to forward the newsletter to colleagues and fellow students. Interested parties can sign up to the mailing list here. We would also like to expressly point out once again that the newsletter is also aimed at people who take on caring responsibilities and not exclusively at parents who are members of the university.

We wish you a relaxing and stress-free end to the year and a good start to the new year.


Best wishes from the FamilyServiceOffice

Barbara Pickhardt & Noelle Maicher-Hoff
