Doing Your PhD & Parenthood

Balancing family life with an academic career is a challenge. Closed daycare centres and schools in the Corona pandemic further exacerbate the problems.

In our MINGS Lunch Break "Doing Your PhD & Parenthood", doctoral researchers with children and those who plan to start a family during their doctoral studies have the possibility to discuss their challenges and concerns with a senior researcher with children and learn from each other's strategies how to manage family life and academia. An expert will answer your questions related to parental leave, child care, support by the university, and more.
