Trier University of Applied Sciences has been a member of the best practice club of the "Family in the University" association since 2015, which emerged from the charter of the same name in 2018. The association is a public commitment by the university to create family-friendly structures, processes and a family-friendly culture.

The association has firmly formulated standards that were accepted by the university when it signed the agreement and are now being implemented independently and developed further in the long term. The exchange with other member universities from all over Germany and Austria also makes it possible to benefit from their experiences, find inspiration for new ideas and reflect on one's own offers in comparison.As the association is specifically tailored to the university and academic system, it is aimed specifically at students and professionals in teaching and research.


The university sees its membership as a further opportunity to promote the work-life balance of students and employees and thus support the university's ability to perform and conduct research at a high level.
