Reporting Office
If you are affected by inappropriate behaviour or conflict, and the situation cannot be resolved with the help of a contact/advice service, you can submit a written report. ETH Zurich will then initiate a formal clarification procedure.
Submitting a formal report
To submit a formal report about inappropriate behaviour, such as sexual harassment, discrimination or bullying, just fill in the form below. Please note the applicable conditions listed in what follows.
Sign the completed form and send it to the Reporting Office.
Conditions
- You, the affected person are either employed by the university, enrolled as a student, or visiting as a guest of ETH Zurich.
- The person who presumably caused the inappropriate behaviour is an employee of ETH Zurich.
Please note: If you are affected by inappropriate behaviour by a student at ETH, contact the Internal Advice and Conciliation Service Respect. - The conflict has not been resolved with the support of a counselling or coaching session nor was it resolved by another ETH contact and advisory service (see: Help for dealing with inappropriate behaviour or conflicts).
Deadlines
The report must be made in good time, usually within three months after the inappropriate behaviour.
More information can be found under Art. 17 of the Regulations on the reporting by ETH Zurich members of inappropriate behaviour.
Please note
Anonymous or verbal notifications are not accepted.
What happens after I submit a formal report?
The Reporting Office then initiates and coordinates the appropriate procedure to clarify the situation. The applicable law and specific procedure depend in particular on the person against who the allegations of inappropriate behaviour are directed.
The Reporting Office operates according to the principles of impartiality, the rule of law and fairness. Throughout the clarification procedure, the Reporting Office requests from all parties involved the commitment to mutually respectful behaviour and fair play in communication. Confidentiality will be maintained vis-?à-?vis third parties not involved.
If the clarification procedure determines there has been a demonstrable violation of the Respect Code of Conduct, the line management or the competent office may instigate measures under employment law or other appropriate measures.
