If something goes wrong
As PhD students, it is crucial for you to be aware of the resources available to help you cope with potential difficulties or serious problems (conflicts, harassment, etc.).
At the University of Bordeaux, there are several people you can contact for support.
Your primary contacts at the university are your laboratory director and doctoral school board. Doctoral schools' administrative officers are also contacts who are easy to reach. You can turn to them in the event of conflict, harassment or any other type of problem.
If you would rather talk to other PhD students, the elected representatives from the different doctoral schools can also be contacted.
Individual thesis committees (CSI)
A PhD programme includes regular meetings with your individual Thesis Committee (CSI). The meetings provide an opportunity to voice your concerns to people who have an impartial view of the overall PhD process. You may also contact a member of your thesis committee outside of the annual meeting if problems arise during the year.
Special cases:
For specific situations such as harassment, breaches of research ethics, health problems, conflicts related to your PhD project, disagreements over opinions or decisions, or any other difficulty, the University of Bordeaux provides services adapted to your needs.
- You can contact the watchdog office (CEVS) dedicated to listening, monitoring and reporting. This service is aimed at providing support, a listening ear and guidance in complete confidentiality, to people who are victims or witnesses in order to stop all types of harassment. You can contact the office by e-mail or submit an incident report.
- If you are a University employee, you may have access to occupational medicine via your employer.
- In addition, due to their student status, PhD students enrolled at the University of Bordeaux have free access to health centres reserved for the student community.
