During the COVID-19 pandemic, scientists with family responsibilities were exposed to multiple time burdens due to the lack of childcare and additional homeschooling. Studies show that women in particular published fewer research papers and submitted fewer funding applications. They lacked undisturbed time for science and research (see Jutta Allmendinger, DIE ZEIT No. 23/2021).

The “More Time for Science” program is aimed primarily at female scientists and would like to offer support by financing SHK or WHK hours or fee-based staff.

Temporary researchers at the TU Dresden who look after at least one child under the age of twelve or a child with special needs until the end of compulsory schooling or who have taken on care responsibility are eligible to apply. Use your chance for "More Time for Science" and apply for your support.
