The family-friendly and future-oriented university in Ilmenau is continuously being built through the establishment of new underlying circumstances and the use of existing resources and facilities.

The highest priority is the balance between studying and career and/or family. The concept of family together with the establishment of family-friendly studying and working conditions through goal-oriented and innovative actions serve as the fundamentals for the development of a family-friendly TU Ilmenau.

The notion of family friendliness is supported by the existence of Campus Family, which unifies all members as a symbol for belonging, responsibility and welfare. The university wants to fulfill the requirements of (young) families and strengthen the close relationship and mutual responsibility of university staff.
