Famos für Familie
Award for Family-Friendliness
Whoever heads an organization unit, is also responsible for tasks and employees. Through a responsible management style, managers can particularly ensure that career and family or care are compatible with each other. RWTH Aachen honors the commitment of its employees to family-friendliness with the "Famos für Familie" award". The prize is awarded by the University's Family Services Center and is endowed with 500 Euros.
How to Participate

This year's nomination period ended on February 15, 2023. For this reason, currently, no nominations will be accepted.
2020/21 Famos für Familie Award Ceremony
The Famos für Familie award ceremony, honoring both the 2020 and 2021 award winners, took place virtually this year due to the pandemic. The winner’s staff members, the rectorate, and the jury members were also invited to participate.
Music for the event was provided by the Carbon String Quintet of RWTH’s Collegium Musicum, and speeches were held in the form of creative videos and presentations in which each team appreciated the family-friendly leadership style of their supervisor.
