Together with interested fathers, Maurice Vetter (father of two children, TUD student) and Paul Kühn (expectant father, TUD employee) would like to take the first step toward establishing a fathers’ network.
An initial preparatory meeting will take place on Thursday, March 5, 2026, from 1:00 PM to 2:30 PM, in the Fritz-Foerster-Bau (FOE), Room 148.
The following topics may be discussed at the preparatory meeting:

- How can and should a fathers’ network at TUD be structured? What support can it offer to those involved?
What might the next steps toward establishing a fathers’ network look like? Who would like to get involved and how?
