Family service
Family friendly department
The physics department supports the reconciliation of family and working/studies life by supplying its employees with a mobile KidsBox for short-term child care as well as a nursing room for breastfeeding mothers. Also, check other university offers for familiy support .
KidsBox
The KidsBox was designed for children ranging from toddlers to elementary school students. Reservations for the KidsBox can be made through FAU-exchange-calendar “Physik Kidsbox” (simply enter the date and time in your own exchange-calendar and invite the “Physik KidsBox”). If you don’t use the FAU-exchange-calendar, send a request for reservation of the KidsBox to physik-geschaeftsstelle@fau.de. Please, also see the guidelines for the KidsBox.
The KidsBox and the key can be picked up at the secretary’s office during regular opening hours.
