Code of Conduct and Respect
At D-MTEC and across ETH Zurich, inappropriate behaviour such as harassment, bullying or discrimination has no place.
Our principles

1. Mutual respect and responsible everyday interaction
We foster a responsible and supportive environment for all members of the department, regardless of origin, education, religion, beliefs, gender, or sexual identity.
2. Open and fair communication and conflict resolution
We communicate openly and sympathetically with each other. All conflicts are resolved in a fair and objective manner. Our culture is built on trust. We support an open management culture based on dialogue.
3. Honesty and integrity in academic matters
We work together in a constructive and honest fashion, where personal integrity is key. We document methods, data, workflows, and results faithfully. We always make a clear distinction between our own work and the work of others. All sources Download are credited correctly (PDF, 59 KB).
