Childcare Concept
In the TU Graz nanoversity, children have an opportunity to explore science and technology and become sensitised to gender and diversity issues.
With respect to gender and diversity, the TU Graz nanoversity offers gender-sensitive education. The girls and boys should be able to develop in an environment free of traditional role stereotypes on and receive the same opportunities. The children can express and explore their interests and disinterests, strengths and weaknesses.
TU Graz institutes involve the children in exciting projects.
