Complaints and appeals

"Employers and/or funders should establish appropriate procedures in accordance with national rules and regulations, possibly in the form of an impartial person (such as a mediator) to deal with researcher complaints/appeals, including those concerning conflicts between the thesis/internship supervisor(s) and early-career researchers. These procedures should provide all research staff with confidential and informal assistance in resolving work-related conflicts, disputes and complaints, with the aim of promoting fair and equitable treatment within the institution and improving the overall quality of the working environment". (extract from the Charter for European researchers)
