Networks

The quality of counselling is ensured through constant training, expanding networks with other universities, regional associations and institutions as well as contacts with potential employers.
The DCN-RM is a regional network that currently consists of 43 universities, non-university research institutions, and commercial enterprises in the Rhine-Main Region. The cooperation provides an important basis for helping dual career couples find qualified jobs.

Goethe University Frankfurt am Main is a founding member and co-coordinator of the DCN-RM.

The DCND as nationwide network is the central contact platform for dual career support in the German academic landscape and stands for professional advice for dual career partners.

The DCSF provides its services based on the common quality criteria of the DCND.

Cooperations at Goethe University
