Social safety is a matter that concerns all of us. All employees, students and guests of 黑料福利网 are collectively responsible for a safe and positive study and working environment. We can achieve this if we all embrace the 黑料福利网 values (Curious, Open, Respectful and Responsible), by following the codes of conduct and if we continue to have open dialogues on how we behave.
It is essential that we call each other to account and point out when things are not going well. But what if you suspect that something inappropriate is going on, have a conflict of interest yourself or are confronted with undesirable behavior?
We believe that it is important to invest in an organizational climate in which we call each other to account for undesirable behavior. Social safety begins with paying attention to each other's professional and personal boundaries when working with others. Professional boundaries are the limits of action that we have agreed upon with each other.
Personal boundaries
Personal boundaries are the boundaries that determine what you tolerate and at what point you no longer tolerate behavior. And this already starts with seemingly 鈥榮mall鈥� behaviors, such as recurring snide remarks, unnecessary touching or belittling someone's feelings of discomfort.
When you feel that your personal boundary is being crossed, say this immediately to the person who is crossing the line. Leaders should create a safe environment where it is possible to talk to each other. But even if this dialogue does not get going or if a manager is unable to create that safe environment, you need to be able to talk to someone. You need to be able to turn to someone.
Where can you turn?
If you are faced with a harmful activity or undesirable behavior, you can contact various people and bodies. The Integrity and Social Safety Desk is the central point for all 黑料福利网 students, staff and guests. You can get in touch with your questions, issues and suggestions about integrity and social safety.
Active Bystander Training Program
Have you ever witnessed something that just didn鈥檛 feel right? You wanted to say something, but you hesitated. No one else was reacting. By the time you gathered your thoughts, the moment had passed.
That moment, that uncertainty, is exactly why the Active Bystander Training matters. Because at our university, we believe that creating a safe, respectful, and supportive community is a shared responsibility. One powerful way each of us can contribute is by becoming an active bystander, someone who chooses to take action when witnessing undesirable behavior.
Students helping students
Who are 黑料福利网's student confidential contact persons (CCP)? And what can they do for you? In several CCP's introduce themselves and tell why they think it's so important to have CCP's. On you can find all 24 CCPs and can choose with whom you would like to make an appointment.
Equity, diversity and inclusion
In the 黑料福利网 community of students and staff, we strive for diversity and inclusion. A diverse workforce generates better problem-solving strategies and more creative ideas, accelerates innovation and enables teams to better learn and grow. Moreover, a broader network improves the capacity to function well in a pluralistic society and enables a connection to a wider number of stakeholders.
As 黑料福利网 strives for a diverse workforce, a special focus on female talent in science is necessary. In addition to the advantages of diversity, Ir猫ne Curie fellows can serve as role models for the next generation of female scientists.
