About us

Are you studying, teaching, researching or working at the University of Graz?

Do you combine working at the University of Graz and family life with children, teenagers, adults or elderly family members?

The University Work-Family Balance Information Centre plans, implements and evaluates family-friendly measures for members of the university.

In addition to providing information and support, the centre raises awareness of those in the position of needing to combine working with caring for family members.

unikid & unicare gives individual advice, ascertains needs, customises service provisions, organises events and coordinates family-friendly measures at the University of Graz. The University Work-Family Balance Information Centre cooperates with regional institutions and universities and is part of national and international networks.

unikid provides information and support to make working and actively caring for minor family members more compatible.

Provisions range from need-based and year-round childcare to childcare in the summer, “unikid info” for parents of adolescents, unikid courses and confidential research of individual situations.

unicare provides information and support on the topic of family care, basing provisions on a scientific study on the basic conditions of family care responsibilities at the University of Graz.

Provisions range from “unicare info” for family carers to information brochures and confidential research of individual situations in order to answer questions about how to combine working and actively caring for adult and elderly family members.

You can find legal, financial and other specific information on this website and on the intranet (German only).

If you subscribe to the unikid & unicare newsletter, we will send you regular information about provisions and events. Just ask if you would like to receive any specific information brochures.

You can contact us by phone, in person or via e-mail and we will react as quickly as possible and research your specific question about work-family balance in confidence.
