Familie in der Hochschule e.V. (Family Life and Academia)
With around
120 member universities in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, the association Familie in der Hochschule e. V. (“Family
Life and Academia”) is the largest active network for family awareness at
German-speaking universities. In 2014, Goethe University Frankfurt was one of
the first universities to sign the charter of the same name and in so doing
committed itself to a number of goals aimed at sustainably improving the
situation of students and staff with family responsibilities. Goethe University
Frankfurt is thus now profiting, through close networking and exchange among
colleagues, from the experience of universities in Germany, Austria and
Switzerland that have particularly distinguished themselves and are especially
committed with regard to family life in academia.
The charter
of the same name constitutes both self-commitment as well as affirmation of a
family-conscious orientation in all areas and has been developed by
universities for universities. You can download the text of the charter and our
university’s own statement of commitment in the column on the right.
Frankfurter Bündnis für Familie (Frankfurt Family Alliance
Goethe
University Frankfurt is an active contributor to the Frankfurter Bündnis für Familie (“Frankfurt Family Alliance"). The alliance's objective is to
organise family-friendly projects in the local community in cooperation with key
entities and institutions in the city, e.g. companies, churches and independent
welfare organisations, associations and societies, trade unions as well as the chamber of commerce.
Erfolgsfaktor Familie (Family as Success Factor)
Goethe
University Frankfurt is a member of the corporate network Erfolgsfaktor Familie (“Family as Success Factor”). The objective
of this alliance of Germany’s Federal Ministry for Family Affairs, Senior
Citizens, Family and Youth, leading German business associations and the German
Trade Union Confederation (DGB) is to make family-friendliness a “trademark of
the German economy”.
