Family & Career Networks

Focused on Families: Jenaer Bündnis für Familie

The focus of Jenaer Bündnis für Familie lays on making families the center of attention of social, economic and political interests. The associated partners continuously try to improve the quality of family life in Jena and the compatibility of career and family.

64 associated partners from industry, politics, administration, social associations and families are engaged for a more family friendly daily life – be it through need-based childcare, family friendly working places and living conditions or a wealthy social and cultural environment.

A Double Welcome: Dual Career Network & EURAXESS

We regard equalization and a family friendly environment as crucial elements of a modern personnel policy. That’s why we implement a wealth of measures at FLI to make family and career compatible.

To attract experienced scientists as employees to FLI, it’s often essential to also support the spouse/partner in finding a new professional perspective in Jena and nearby (so-called dual career couples).

The FLI, therefore, is engaged in several regional and national dual career networks as well as member of the international EURAXESS initiative.
