Motherhood & Science Austria

About us

The Vienna local group of the “Motherhood and Science” network offers mothers* in science a platform to exchange ideas, network and support each other. Our focus is on research, networking, further education and counselling.


The topics of motherhood and science affect not only mothers*, but society as a whole, as care work is the foundation of human coexistence. That is why we are also targeting allies - supporters who are committed to structural changes in the scientific community. Together, we want to strengthen ourselves, make ourselves visible and question the often challenging, competition-oriented structures in academia.


The network is open to anyone who wants to campaign for family-friendly and inclusive science. Mothers*, fathers*, other parents and allies who support the cause are particularly welcome.

Main topics of the Vienna local group

  • Maternity protection and parental leave in science
  • Funding opportunities for parents in academia
  • Cooperation with equal opportunities offices
  • Compatibility of family and academic career
  • Everyday working life with a child
  • Networking with parents in flexible professions
