Date of publication:
In March 2025, the University of Ljubljana (UL) adopted the Guidelines on Reconciling Work, Study and Private Life, which also cover longer leaves of absence for employees and students, and are aimed at creating a supportive and encouraging environment for all members of the academic community.
The guidelines are designed to ensure equal opportunities for all, and to prevent the negative impacts of prolonged absences on career development and academic performance.
They introduce measures that promote flexibility in fulfilling work and study commitments, support reintegration after extended absences, and encourage career or study progression, taking into account parental or caregiving responsibilities.
Why are the guidelines important?
- Because we are committed to providing an accessible, inclusive, and equitable academic environment.
- Because we care about the well-being, career development and academic success of every individual.
- Because we believe that through understanding and flexibility, we build a stronger and more cohesive community.
