KidsClub

The university's KidsClub provides a place for the children of scientists who come to Heidelberg University for a guest stay where they can spend time and make new friends. A backup service is also offered there. If required and if space is available, children of congress participants can also be looked after there. A team of multilingual professional lovingly look after the children aged between one and six years - playing, crafts and excursions are on the daily programme.
