| dc.description | Student parents’ circumstances often remain invisible within university walls—even though their life situation may call for tailored support and flexible institutional arrangements. Coordinated by the National Association of Large Families (Nagycsaládosok Országos Egyesülete), four Central European universities collaborated within an international Erasmus+ project to examine student parents’ experiences and needs through a rigorous research design. Drawing on focus group discussions, the study not only maps the challenges participants face but also formulates concrete institutional responses—whether in the form of enhanced academic flexibility, targeted support measures, or initiatives that strengthen the inclusivity of the university community. This volume will be of value to higher-education decision-makers, instructors, student representatives, and researchers for whom the development of family-friendly higher education is a priority. This publication was produced as part of the Erasmus+ project “Fostering Inclusive Learning Environments: Strategies for Supporting Parenting Students in Higher Education” (Project ID: 2023-1-HU01-KA220-HED-000156058).
