Bullying and Harassment: Support at the EUI

The EUI is committed to creating a stimulating and supportive learning and working environment that is free from discrimination and harassment.

The EUI Policy on Harassment, Sexual Harassment, and Bullying aims at:

• ensuring a safe space that is stimulating and supportive, and a learning and working environment that is free from any form of harassment or discrimination;
• implementing proactive measures to prevent harassment and bullying and ensuring urgent attention to grievances with a zero-tolerance approach;
• reinforcing the standards of respect and civility with which members of the Institute are expected to treat one another and guarantee equal and inclusive access to all EUI activities;
• ensuring victim-centeredness and a clear and legible separation of functions of the relevant EUI bodies involved by this policy.
