YAG ECR Lunch May 2024: Social Safety project at UG

Social safety at universities remains a hot issue, for example with recent headlines about a report on social safety, or the lack of it, at TU Delft. The RUG began a campaign for social safety awareness last year (https://www.rug.nl/about-ug/policy-and-strategy/social-safety/?lang=en) - and did you know that a link to information about what to do in case of „undesirable behaviour, incident, accident“ has been inserted at the bottom of every intranet web page? 

YAG organised an ECR lunch on social safety in May, the project leader for social safety Anne-Marie Petter, presented the longer-term plans for improving social safety. Moderated by Lisa Herzog (YAG member), some room was created for a discussion about this planned program and the issue of social safety in the academic world more broadly speaking, with a specific focus on the situation of early-career researchers.
