  2. Starting point, inquirycarriedout in 2012:

  3. Victimization? http://www5.lu.se/o.o.i.s/754 • Definition • With victimization is meant recurrent reprehensible or distinctly negative actions which are directed against individual employees and students in an offensive manner which may result in the employees being placed outside the workplace or study group community. • Examples are: • control of the employee without his knowledge • withholding work-related information • deliberately sabotaging or hampering the execution of work • exclusion or negligent treatment, disregarded, and making the employees invisible • slander and blacken the character of workers • insults directed against the person, hypercritical and negative reception • to unjustifiably remove or alter office or duties • Offensive actions and behavior also includes harassment based on gender, sexual orientation, disability, ethnicity, age, religion or belief.

  4. KILU has zero tolerance against victimization What do you do if you experience or notice victimization? Talk to your supervisor/head of division/ director of studies/head of department…. Don’t wait! Document!

  5. Haveyouhad problems falling in sleepduring the last threemonths? All graduate students at LTH (160 of 480 answered).

  6. I havedayswhen I feelverypressed, reaching the limit of what I cancopewith

  7. How do we create an environment where we do not experience negative stress? • Goodleadership • Participation • Clear definition of goals and expectations • An openenvironment • Don’toverworkthings!

  8. The prevention of negative stress and “burnout” syndromis important. Communication is important: “medarbetarsamtal” .

  10. “Doktorandbarometern” LU, 2007 Graduate students LTH within ... Experimental Theoretical How would you rate the information you received as newly admitted graduate student with respect to: -general objectives and content of graduate education 3.0 3.0 -division/dept activities 3.5 3.5 - division/deptexpectations of you as a graduate student 3.0 3.0 -institution duty: scope and content 3.5 3.5 -where you can turn to with questions about your graduate student position 3.0 3.0 -where you can turn to with conflicts and other social problems 2.5 2.5 -what support you can get from the student union 2.5 2.5 - Information about job market after graduation 2.5 2.5 1: very bad; 5: very good.

  11. We are scientists: • We must get away from the ideal of the devoted scientist who puts his/her research above everything else. • An ordinary work-week is 40 hours (sometimes more, sometimes less). • During those 40 hours we should focus on our academic tasks. • But we should also have a life outside the Chemical Center. • We must strike a good balance!

  12. A lot of information on LU home page. But in Swedish…. http://www5.lu.se/pa-online/arbetsmiljoe/psykosocial-arbetsmiljoe At Science faculty: Handbook for PhD studies: http://www4.lu.se/o.o.i.s/3460 LTH has information in English: http://www.lth.se/english/education/phd_studies/
