Audit Family-friendly University

With this, the external assessors confirm the success of the existing family-friendly measures and the concept of TU Dresden for further development. In the course of the re-audit "dialog procedure" 2019, the TU Dresden has concluded a new action program (2019-2022) with berufundfamilie Service GmbH.
