We offer our members free on-site childcare during scientific events so that it is easier for them to balance family life and doctoral research.

Only members of the Graduate Academy Leipzig can use the childcare services.

Flexible Childcare Services

In cooperation with the Office for Equality, Diversity and Family Affairs at Leipzig University, we offer our members free childcare for the duration of scientific events. Depending on the venue, childcare is provided either on the premises of the Graduate Academy Leipzig or at the parents' home. Participation in online events can also be supported by childcare, which then also takes place at the parents' home.

Please inform us of your wish for childcare, including the age of your child or children, via email when registering for an event, but at least two weeks before the start of the event. 

To offer childcare, we cooperate with the childcare referral agency Mittagskind. All childminders have undergone childcare training and possess an emergency card (Nothilfepass) and a certificate of conduct (polizeiliches Führungszeugnis).

Support in finding a childcare place

The Department for Equality, Diversity and Family offers you advice on your personal situation and support in finding a childcare place for your child. If you are interested, please contact Manuela Neue by e-mail.
