Dear member,
Referring to the world-wide movement on sexual and power abuse in many professional sectors and industries, the so-called #MeToo discussions, and related awareness raising campaigns at the national and international level, FFNT announces the "What have we learned from #MeToo at the UT? Practical notes from UT Counsellors and Confidential Advisors" event as part of their lunch discussion series.
During that lunch discussion, taking place on 6th December 2018, we will present:
- the new Code of Conduct of the University of Twente,
- the website on Integrity,
- a registration form for reporting misbehaviour,
- the protocol to adopt in case of experiencing misbehavior as well as
- other and overall progress with regard to measures at the UT.
We take the opportunity to announce this event widely, using several channels, involving staff, students, and administrational employees, as this is an important topic and central to Human Resources of the UT.
We have three speakers that each tend to a slightly different group of people working and studying at the UT, i.e. staff, PhD students and MSc students. Each of them will present current progress on the procedures with regard to misbehavior at the UT and practical knowledge on what to do in case it has been experienced.
We welcome you at this very important and informative event.
