This page contains the Materials Chemistry Code of Conduct, general regulations about how to work at MCh.

The work in our institute requires a high level of self-responsibility in all working fields. This implies that a certain code of conduct is required to ensure health and safety for the staff as well as the building and its equipment. Please note the safety regulations.

The code of conduct describes the organization and the responsibilities of the persons working here, including the permanent staff as well as students, Ph. D. students, postdocs, guest researches, scholars etc. It is meant to improve working processes and to help new staff members to integrate into the group.

These regulations leave - on purpose - a large space for personal responsibility and own decisions and, thus, require a high level on self-awareness and considerateness of the staff. It is obvious that violation of these rules will have consequences, and may i. e. result in limiting the individual rights of use of MCh equipment.

All staff members accept these rules by signature upon employment. The current version of the code of conduct is published here in the MCh wiki (see below).

In order to establish a creative scientific atmosphere, there is no classical organizational hierarchy at MCh. Scientists, the managing staff as well as the technical staff and student workers are closely working together to carry out the best possible research.
