Children
Norway is considered to be a family-friendly country where the welfare politics makes it easier for couples and single-parents to combine work and family life.
The main concern of the HR-department at the university is the rights and well being of employees.
However, we acknowledge the fact that the welfare of the family is of great concern for an international researcher, so we try to provide some support for social integration of the whole family.
The accompanying family may also get some information and services from the International Staff Services at university.
Happy family
