In addition, for the past few years Heidi has given time to the process for cohorts to consider and discuss students’ and staff’s commmunication with each other and general expectations about conduct.

 

We would like to have your input into these processes, starting from the point of view that all students are professionals and therefore expected to follow professional standards (from their national associations). That there are also professional standards and codes of conduct related to research. These are relevant also when students are in the role as a student.

 

We don’t seek to formalise lots of regulations around behaviour, but rather create an environment that is safe, constructive and pleasant for all, an in which it is clear what to do if problems ado rise, e.g. first response should be at a personal level instead of pointing out hard rules.

 

The students’ view is important to us! Could you therefore provide us with suggestions how we could proceed when we are concerned about a student, a group of students, or cohort-level challenges? E.g.

And also:

And any further thoughts you and the cohorts have.
