Balancing family and career: Home office equipment and student assistant hours for academics with family commitments

We just opened our internal call regarding the purchase of home office equipment and student assistant hours for academics with family commitments in the TRR 181! Deadline is June 6, 2017.

In order to help improve work-life-balance, the TRR181 is providing help with childcare or nursing care for relatives. To support their scientific work, academics with family commitments will be given the opportunity to buy home office equipment (e.g. laptop,screen or external hard drive) or student assistant hours for up to six months. The aim is to give the applicant more flexibility for research despite family commitments.

Deadline for the applications is June 6, 2017.
