Conflict Management and Mediation
The Doctoral School plays a central role in the management of conflicts regarding doctoral students. In case a major conflict is not resolved easily within the research unit, it is important to notify the Doctoral School immediately, so that an official mediation procedure can be launched.
But the ED BioSPC is not the only way of recourse. These conflicts may concern scientific integrity, ethics, harassment or discrimination.
Doctoral students and supervisors can mobilize these recourses.
