Family@CUI

Balancing family responsibilities with a career in science is a main objective of Equal Opportunity at CUI. Our measures and programs are focussing on anchoring the topic in the cluster, integrating family responsibilities into the scientific work environment and offering information and discussion on all related topics.

Our program Family @ CUI addresses all of our scientists with family duties and bundles  our measures on the topic of balancing between career and family in the cluster.

Please let us know if you miss certain aspects, or if you have have further questions.
