Anonymously report inappropriate behaviour
ETH members can use an anonymous reporting form if they have experienced or observed inappropriate behaviour at the university. The online form is a way for staff and students to report overstepped boundaries.
EqualiTea
EqualiTea aims to create an open and comfortable environment where to converse, share experiences, address issues, seek suggestions and support, learn, and actively discuss matters of gender equality, work equality, and family-work management. As the name suggests, it consists of a Tea (or coffee, or any other beverage of your liking) and cake break that takes place within the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences on a monthly basis. All members of the department are invited to join.
Planetary Equality
The Planetary Equality group consists of female early career scientists working in the Earth Sciences and it was funded by the “Fix the leaky pipeline” programme. In order to tackle the many challenges we female scientists face in the course of our academic careers, we chose “Self-development as a pathway to an equal scientific career” as the main theme of our peer-mentoring group. The main goal of our group is to create a safe space to share experiences and to support each other in and also after the leaky pipeline programme. We hope to reach out to other early-career scientists in our field.
Family room
The protected page D-EAPS family room in the NO building can be used by parents who want to bring their children to the workplace under their own supervision.
