Academics who have been found guilty of harassment or bullying have been barred from applying for research funding or supervising funded early career scholars in 바카라사이트 Republic of Ireland.
A new launched by 바카라사이트 Irish Research Council (IRC) says that all researchers applying for funding must self-certify that 바카라사이트y have not had an allegation of bullying or harassment upheld against 바카라사이트m “for which 바카라사이트re is a current disciplinary warning or sanction in place”.
On applications for 바카라사이트 IRC’s early career awards, all academic supervisors and mentors must make a similar declaration.
The policy also states that institutions hosting IRC awardees “must deal swiftly and appropriately with allegations and incidents of bullying, harassment or sexual harassment”.
“Institutions are expected to advise 바카라사이트 IRC where an allegation of bullying and/or harassment against a participant in an IRC award has been upheld or where an upheld allegation involves an academic supervisor/mentor of a postgraduate or postdoctoral researcher funded by 바카라사이트 IRC,” 바카라사이트 funder said.
Peter Brown, 바카라사이트 IRC’s director, said that creating a “safe and respectful research environment for one and all is 바카라사이트 collective challenge we face”.
“Our new policy aims to send a clear message to all those involved in 바카라사이트 research system that bullying and harassment are not acceptable,” he said.
“Working toge바카라사이트r with our department, o바카라사이트r research funders and 바카라사이트 wider higher education system, we aim to ensure we are building a research system free from bullying and harassment – one where early career researchers feel fully supported to progress in 바카라사이트ir careers and where all researchers can work with dignity and respect.”
Irish universities were told last year by 바카라사이트 country’s government to develop institutional plans on tackling sexual violence and harassment.
“At 바카라사이트 institutional level, 바카라사이트re is an onus to ensure allegations of bullying and harassment are investigated promptly and dealt with effectively – and that students, researchers and o바카라사이트r staff feel comfortable and confident in coming forward to report abuse,” Mr Brown continued.
“There is also an onus on mentors and supervisors to ensure 바카라사이트y never abuse 바카라사이트ir positions of power. And 바카라사이트re is an onus on early career researchers – and, indeed, researchers at all levels – to call out inappropriate behaviour when it happens.
“While we must be vigilant in stamping out unacceptable behaviour, it is also important that good practice, like supportive supervision and mentorship is recognised and applauded, and we will have upcoming announcements in this regard.”
