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 has begun 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 behavior, incident, accident“ has been inserted at the bottom of every intranet web page? 

But these are just some first steps. In this ERC lunch, the project leader for social safety Anne-Marie Petter, will present the longer-term plans for improving social safety. Moderated by Lisa Herzog (YAG member, philosophy), we will create room 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.
