Undesirable behaviour

The University of Twente has a Code of Conduct on sexual harassment, intimidation, aggression, violence and discrimination. This code of conduct is an elaboration of the ambition of the parties to the Collective Labour Agreement to create a pleasant and stimulating work climate within the Dutch universities. Such a climate requires an active contribution of anyone working at the university: not only with regard to the own behaviour, but also alertness towards every form of undesired behaviour witnessed in the staff member’s own work situation. Undesired behaviour is always to be brought up, either by calling to account the persons involved themselves or by calling in third parties.

The purpose of the behavioural code is to bring these starting points explicitly to the attention of the university community at all levels. The code of conduct is applicable to all employees of the University of Twente, in their behaviour towards others (staff members, visiting lecturers, students on work placement, temps, other students, visitors, etc.)
