Gdańsk University of Technology develops initiatives aimed at making it easier for parents working or studying at the university to combine their academic and family duties.
On 1 September 2023, the Gdańsk Tech MegaMocni (Megamind) kindergarten has started operating. Moreover, 21 baby-changing stations have been installed in 16 buildings on the campus for changing children and babies.
This is an important step towards completing the Work - Life Balance concept and implementation of the Gender Equality Plan. Other solutions for parents and children are also under development. A family room and a point for feeding and changing babies will be put into use in the near future.
The family room is a separate and friendly space for carers with children, where there is a place to feed a child, heat a meal or drink, as well as a hygiene zone with a changing table and a place to rest. The room is also equipped with toys, mats and a table and chairs for children.
The baby feeding and changing station is a private and safe space. Necessary equipment provided in the room: a station for changing babies, a washbasin, a comfortable armchair and a place to heat a meal or drink.
