Dual Career Network Swabia

Working together for a strong region

The Dual Career Network Swabia is an association of the universities of Neu-Ulm, Kempten, Biberach as well as the Ulm University of Technology and the University of Ulm with the common goal of attracting excellent professors, scientists, specialists and executives to the region. The career prospects of the partners involved and the compatibility of work and family often play a major role. The Dual Career Advisory Service supports dual career couples so that both partners can pursue a career in the region.



Our services for dual career couples

  • Job search assistance. (Job placement can not be guaranteed.)
  • Support in establishing contacts with employers in the region.
  • Support with application documents and procedures in Germany.
  • Information on residency issues.
  • Information and advice on childcare and schools.

Our network is based on the quality standards of the Dual Career Network Germany (opens in a new window).

The benefits of a network

  • Support and cooperation: The founding universities and network members support each other by exchanging information about job vacancies in the region for potential partners. This increases the attractiveness of the universities, companies and municipal institutions.
  • Increasing the attractiveness of the region: A strong network can increase the attractiveness of the science and business location and strengthen it in global competition. This benefits all members of the network.
  • Networking events: Network participants benefit from the exchange and experience of other companies and scientific institutions in the region. These events promote the exchange of knowledge and cooperation.
