Martin Luther University Halle: Fifth for family friendliness!

Wittenberg, Deutschland - The Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU) sets a strong sign of the reconciliation of work and family. After a successful dialogue procedure, the MLU received the certificate for a family -friendly university for the fifth time on June 17, 2025 in Berlin. This not only represents an award, but also shows the long-term commitment of the University for family-friendly working and study conditions.

The Rector of the MLU, Prof. Dr. Claudia Becker received the certificate from Mareike Wulf, Parliamentary State Secretary in the Federal Ministry of Family Affairs. "The MLU has been actively pursuing a family -friendly university policy for over a decade," emphasizes Becker, referring to the importance of the constant further development of these structures. The university has been wearing the certificate since 2009, with previous re-auditing in 2012 and 2015.

a permanent seal of approval

Thanks to the slimmed -down dialogue procedure of Professundfamilie Service GmbH, MLU can now permanently lead the seal of approval. Rector Prof. Dr. Christian Tietje emphasizes that the university is not only based on current standards, but is also necessary to continuously monitoring the status quo. Over 140 measures have been implemented since 2009, including the “Weinberg Kids” facility, which offers short and outskirting time care for children.

The decision to award the certificate makes an independent board of trustees that ensures that the principles of family justice are firmly anchored in the organizational culture of the university. The next quality assurance test will be scheduled in three years to define new personnel policy goals.

a strategic management instrument

The audit of family-friendly university serves as a strategic management instrument that wants to make the study and working conditions in a family-friendly manner. It takes into account the variety of life plans and family forms. It is essential that the family -friendly orientation is integrated into the university strategy in order to ensure a high degree of penetration of these measures. This is not only supported by a needs analysis and the determination of the development potential, but also by the definition of concrete goals in eight fields of action.
