Balancing Research Work and Private Life

Reconciliation of career and family life

It is important to us that our staff can reconcile their career and private life. We want you to be able to combine your personnel and professional aims and ambitions, and have the opportunity to develop professionally and achieve your objectives.

We provide support both in the family planning phase and in your search for suitable childcare facilities, such as crèches, kindergartens, child minders or au-pairs. Moreover, we offer a range of in-house childcare arrangements in parent initiatives and facilities with which we cooperate. Employees with relatives who are ill or in need of long-term care also receive advice and assistance in arranging care.

You can find the possible configurations of research and work conditions on the MPG’s webpage on reconciliation of career and family life.

Or visit our Intranet site for detailed information regarding family matters.
