Dual Career Network of the Karlsruhe Region
In order to attract top talent from academia and Economics to the Karlsruhe region, a dual career network was founded in May 2013 on the initiative of KIT, in which regional research and educational institutions agree to support each other in the promotion of dual career couples. The aim is to work together with the cooperation partners to identify solution models for dual careers in order to ensure the smooth professional integration of couples in the long term, here in the Karlsruhe region.
