Trying to balance a scientific career and family is often considered to be very challenging. In particular, limited-term employment contracts, the need to be (nationally or internationally) mobile, and the high pressure to publish are major obstacles to fulfilling family obligations. We regularly offer workshops on reconciling family and career.
SCaP - Scientific Career and Parenthood
Information and discussion on the legal ramifications of limited-term employment contracts (under the WissZeitVG) and their effects on e.g. taking parental leave. The event is hosted by the Clusters of Excellence CLICCS, Quantum Universe and CUI: Advanced Imaging of Matter, and by the Faculty of Mathematics, Informatics and Natural Sciences – in cooperation with the Family Office of Universität Hamburg.
