For researchers with children there are various opportunities to enhance family and career. We provide a kids room with additional emergency childcare. Also, it can easily be used as a parent-child-office.

Childcare Room

The University of Duisburg-Essen and its Colloborative Research Centres follow the plan for the promotion of women and welcome both parents and their children. The CRC 1242 offers a fully furnished childcare room to enhance a family friendly environment and flexibility for working parents. From infancy over toddler age to primary school - all children are welcome.

The CRC 1242 KidsBox

The KidsBox turns every office, seminar room or other places into a kids friendly environment. CRC members can take it any time and move it easily on four wheels.
