PARENTHOOD AT UNIVERSITY
information/support/initiatives
Parenthood involves considerable challenges in reconciling responsibilities with work and studies. Therefore, among the five general objectives set out in the Gender Equality Plan for the UW, one of them is dedicated to supporting a work-life balance, including family life. Initiatives envisaged within this objective include the development of care infrastructure at the UW, changing the organisational culture to take into account the needs of parents working and studying there, and increasing the visibility of care responsibilities.
We want the University to be a parent-friendly place, providing support for all academic community members to combine professional and personal roles. We encourage you to share with us your ideas and solutions concerning the area of work-life balance (rownouprawnienie@uw.edu.pl).

Remote work at the UW
01.09.2023 r. the Ordinance of the Rector of the University of Warsaw on the principles of performing occasional remote work at the University of Warsaw entered into force.
Applications for consent to occasional remote work are submitted in the SAP FIORI system. The path for applying and accepting an application for occasional remote work is the same as in the case of applications for annual leave – the employee submits an application for occasional remote work using the “Leave applications” tab (on the main page of the SAP FIORI portal), and then from the drop-down list ” “Application type” selects the “Occasional remote work” application.
1.10.2024 r. the possibility of remote work was introduced at the University of Warsaw. The principles of remote work, as well as the rights and obligations of the employer and employees, are set out in the “Agreement on the rules and regulations for performing remote work”.
The content of the “Agreement” and the active application form in Word can be found in the FOR EMPLOYEE/Remote work tab – access after logging in with a CAS account (Central Authentication Server).
