Adjustment measures in accordance with §§ 9, 13 of the Maternity Protection Act for (doctoral) students

If necessary, MLU supports individual adjustment measures in accordance with §§9, 13 MuSchG during pregnancy, breastfeeding and after childbirth in the event of individual or work-related restrictions.
Female students and doctoral students whose degree is jeopardised due to legal regulations (MuSchG - employment bans and adaptation measures) during periods of pregnancy and maternity leave because activities for their final theses (e.g. scientific experiments in laboratories) cannot be carried out and completed on time have the opportunity to apply for funding. The application is made informally via the supervising university lecturer. Funding is awarded for the employment of research assistants or material resources in order to carry out the work that is subject to individual or workplace-related restrictions and is absolutely necessary for the degree.
Applications are approved by the Equal Opportunities Advisory Board's working group on awards and are based on the total amount of funding available.
Please contact Andrea Ritschel (Tel.: 0345-55-21442) for information on how to apply.
