Important insights from my colleague Dr. Özge Bilgili’s work on the challenge of combining care duties and employment in academia, including helpful recommendations for next steps! Looking forward to seeing Utrecht University implement these. Made possible by the Utrecht Young Academy.
A supportive work environment for new academic parents, policies and provisions should:
1. Become more uniform and open
2. Account for career stages next to target groups
3: Focus on supporting teams as a whole
