Decided measures of the rectorate in September 2021 based on the avuba survey:

• Saturday morning care by the University Day Care Center for a maximum of ten children of University members up to the age of eight from 8.30-12.00: The cost is CHF 45 per child. A place at the university Day Care Center is not a prerequisite. Initial bookings for Saturday 6 November 2021 or subsequent Saturdays can be requested via unikrippe@clutterfamilea.ch from the beginning of October. The offer is intended for irregular use, permanent occupancy is not possible.

• Emergency care for sick children of staff and students living in the cantons of Basel-Stadt, Basel-Landschaft, Solothurn and Aargau: After receiving the call, a trained and experienced caregiver will be at the family's home within 4 hours to take care of the sick child (up to 12 years). The offer is free of charge for all university members. Further information on the offer and registration at unibas.ch/family.

• The continuation of the funding instrument "academic editing incentive" is approved.
