More information here.

Academic staff members of the University of Cologne are eligible for the refinancing of their care costs for activities associated with their employment, necessitating additional care for their children or relatives in need of care.

Refinancing of childcare costs is possible:

  •     Further education and training.
  •     Business trips & conferences (e.g. network meetings, conferences).
  •     Specialist events.

                     -  with own contribution (e.g. organization, welcome greeting, panel discussion, etc.)

                     -  without own contribution: up to three events per year

The care can take place at the place of residence or at the place of business (e.g. accompanying babysitters).
