Hostilities against scientists
Unfortunately, it is becoming increasingly common for scientists to become the target of hostility, threats and insults due to the communication of their research results. In order to support researchers and science communicators in such difficult situations, the Federal Association for University Communication and Wissenschaft im Dialog have set up the scicomm-support platform for those affected in partnership with the DFG and the German Rectors' Conference. It provides information, telephone advice and training opportunities.
(Sexualized) harassment, violence or discrimination can also occur within the faculty and the hospital. The Equal Opportunities Officer has drawn up guidelines (in german) for this.
Since 2024, RWTH has a Rector's Delegate for Antisemitism Prevention.
