The Technische Universität Ilmenau and the Studierendenwerk Thüringen have today (13.04.2022) signed a cooperation agreement for intensive collaboration. In this agreementthe president of the TU Ilmenau, Prof. Kai-Uwe Sattler, and the managing director of the Studierendenwerk Thüringen, Torsten Schubert, aim for better study conditions for the students and better working conditions for the employees of both the TU Ilmenau and the Studierendenwerk Thüringen. Both sides see the cooperation agreement as a new quality in their long-standing collaboration.
With the cooperation agreement, TU Ilmenau and Studierendenwerk Thüringen also want to meet the new challenges posed by the increasing internationalization of the university. More than 34 percent of all students at TU Ilmenau are not from Germany - a trend that has been rising for years, even during the Corona pandemic. The TU Ilmenau and the Studierendenwerk Thüringen therefore consider it their task to create a study and learning environment that offers students equal opportunities regardless of their origin and culture. The cooperation agreement between TU Ilmenau and Studierendenwerk Thüringen sets out the framework conditions that are intended to help achieve this goal. It also sets out the conditions for better working conditions.
Family-friendly framework conditions in childcare
TU Ilmenau and Studierendenwerk Thüringen decide to implement family-friendly framework conditions in childcare. For example, special attention is to be paid to places for babies up to one year of age in the "Studentenflöhe" daycare center, since places for this age group are most in demand. In order to care for foreign children as well, care should be taken to ensure that appropriately qualified personnel are available - as well as in the Campus Family Office, which offers counseling and events for parents.
Health-promoting framework conditions
The working and study conditions at the TU Ilmenau are to be made more health-friendly in the future. Both the employees of the TU Ilmenau and the Studierendenwerk Thüringen, as well as the students, are encouraged to participate in health-promoting measures. Psychosocial counseling, social counseling and the provision of legal counseling offered by Studierendenwerk Thüringen are to be strengthened.
Part of the agreement between TU Ilmenau and Studierendenwerk Thüringen is also the joint work in case of conflicts, crises or threats from inside or outside.
