TU Kids & Care was set up on 1 February 2016 to support all TU members with matters relating to balancing family life with their career or studies. This office is responsible for implementing these matters on an operational level. In addition to its role as the central point of contact and service point, it also comes up with childcare solutions.

Participating in academic events is essential for developing your career in academia. To ensure that this option is also available to members with childcare obligations, TU Wien provides professional childcare for children aged between 1 and 10 years old in conjunction with KIWI during academic events, congresses and conferences where necessary. A flexible children’s room is available during conferences, meaning that mums and dads can participate without any worries.

If you are interested, please fill out the application form, opens in new window and send it to tukids@tuwien.ac.at. Please note that you must submit the form at least 3 weeks before the planned event.

Summer holidays @ TU Wien

Each year in the summer holidays, we offer a varied, interesting programme of summer courses for school children aged between 6 and 13 years old. In 2019, all summer courses are already fully booked.

techNIKE

The new techNIKE option in our summer holiday programme is an initiative from TU Wien to get more girls aged between 6 and 10 years old excited about technology. As part of the childcare week, girls who have signed up have the opportunity to participate in a technical workshop on the Wednesday morning. If you are interested, you can register your daughter for this option using the general application form. (Children may only participate in techNIKE if they are registering for the entire week.)
During this period, we look after your children Monday to Friday from 07.30 a.m. to 05.00 p.m.

Costs

WITHIN TU: € 70,- per child per week (English learning week: € 100,- per child per week)
OUTSIDE TU: € 170,- per child per week (English learning week: € 200,- per child per week)

Registration

No more registration possible.

(We want all employees to be able to access our childcare options for their children for at least 1 week during the holidays. This means that you can only secure 1 week-long programme for your child at the moment. You do have the option of putting your name down for other weeks too.)

What do you do when your child is ill and needs looking after?

Relatives who provide care

We provide information and coaching for employees with relatives in need of care.
Under the motto 'Mehr als ich kann' (which translates as 'More than I can'), we offer the following options on a regular basis for TU Wien employees with relatives who require care:

  • Workshops and information from experts
  • Coaching on how to deal with challenging situations
  • A networking platform

Wed., 8th May 2019, 02.00 p.m. to 04.30 p.m.
GUT Schulungsraum

Target audience

All interested members of TU Wien, including those who are not yet carers.

Seminar content

Around 80 per cent of people requiring care in Austria are looked after at home by relatives. This could mean providing support with day-to-day life, helping with organisation, taking on difficult tasks (gardening, shopping, washing etc.), accompanying them to appointments or even 24-hour care.
Most relatives who provide care also still have jobs. In 2013, TU Wien therefore established the ‘Mehr als ich kann’ networking platform for those who provide care for their relatives, with the aim of offering people affected by or interested in these issues the opportunity to exchange with experts in an informal setting.

During the networking meetings, all those affected by or interested in these matters are able to discuss their own topics and exchange their individual experiences on a confidential basis and under the guidance of Christiane Miksch (supervisor and psychologist specialising in care).
