Parenthood and all related issues require a community. This guide is for members of the University of Geneva – staff and students – who are parents or planning to become parents, as well as their superiors or academic supervisors.

Pregnancy

Do your studies involve risks for pregnancy?

If you are planning a pregnancy or you are pregnant and you work in a laboratory, get your working environment evaluated by the STEPS (health at work, environment, prevention and security) service. Their specialists are available for confidential appointments. Appropriate measures will be taken as necessary, with the people concerned.
