PhD bonus
To encourage PhDs to finish their theses in time, a PhD promotion bonus of €1500 has been set up by IMAPP. To be eligible for the PhD promotion bonus, you must meet the following rules.
Mental health
Factors such as overwork, conflicts about tasks or workplace relationships, stress, or personal circumstances can impact your job. Working conditions affecting your (mental) health can also be a contributing factor. You may feel less motivated, tired or isolated.
These are examples of situations where it is encouraged to ask for (mental) support:
Confidentiality
Do you encounter problems at work or feel unsafe due to undesirable behaviour such as harassment, bullying, or discrimination? Or do you have concerns about research integrity or conflicts in the workplace? Know that confidential advisors are available to support you.
There are confidential advisors to help you dealing with undesirable behaviour, academic integrity and whistle-blowers.
Next to the university's confidential advisors, IMAPP has its own confidential contact persons available for all PhD candidates, postdocs, and staff. If you would like their support, do not hesitate to contact them.
