The Family Office

Shaping work-life balance – living equality of opportunity

The Family Office of the Equal Opportunities and Diversity Managament Unit is your central point of contact at Saarland University for all matters relating to balancing studies, academia, work and caregiving responsibilities. Whether you look after children, care for relatives or take on other caregiving duties – we offer confidential and free advice, information and support to students and prospective students as well as staff and managers in academia and administration.

Saarland University embraces a broad and diverse concept of family. This includes all parent-child constellations such as single-parent families, blended families, rainbow families, married couples, partnerships, sibling relationships, as well as the individual care and support of older or dependent people living in the same household.

On this page, we provide information about our advisory services, support offerings and events related to the topic of work–life balance at Saarland University.
