KidsBox - the mobile kids' room

The KU has two exemplars of the KidsBox. The KidsBox is designed as a mobile kids' room and equipped for babies and children up to primary school age (https://my-kidsbox.de/). You can use the KidsBox if you exceptionally need to bring your children to work or study or if you want to organise childcare for an event.
In Eichstätt, the KidsBox is located in the Aula in the KG building and should primarily be used in this buildung. Due to its size it is very difficult to transport the box to other buildings. However, materials can be taken out of the KidsBox at any time for use in other buildings.
In Ingolstadt, the KidsBox is located in the main building of the WFI. Here, too, materials can be taken out of the box for use.
If you would like to use the KidsBox either in Eichstätt or in Ingolstadt, please contact the Family-friendly KU (familie(at)ku.de).
Children's plate in the mensa
The Studierendenwerk Erlangen-Nuremberg offers a free children's plate. This is an addition to your meal. You as a parent must also consume, only then will the children's portion be added free of charge.

- The parent entered on the card must be enrolled in the current semester at a university in the area of the Studierendenwerk Erlangen-Nuremberg.
- The child registered on the card must not be older than 10 years.

Lockers for pregnant students
Pregnant students have the possibility to rent lockers in the individual libraries of the KU for a longer period of time up to two weeks after giving birth. You can find more information on the pages of the University Library under "Work cabins and more".
Play corner in the canteen
In the canteen, families will find a separated area where (small) children can play while their parents eat. The play corner contains various toys for small children and some books. We kindly ask you to clean up the play corner after use and leave it tidy.

Newborn children of students and employees of KU receive a welcome from the university: among other things, the original KU baby romper suit as well as information material for parents, which the ZFG has compiled.
