Anonymous notices

Have you experienced or witnessed inappropriate behaviour? If so, please submit a notice to ETH Zurich.

Violations of the Code of Conduct

Sexual harassment, discrimination and bullying are not tolerated at ETH Zurich. If you have experienced or witnessed an ETH member engaging in these behaviours and do not wish to contact any of the advisory and counselling services, you can submit an anonymous notice through the whistleblowing system.

Please note:

The person in question must be a member of the ETH community.
Describe what happened truthfully. Do not make accusations against anyone against your better judgment.
You will not receive any feedback re: possible measures against the person in question.

Submit an anonymous notice

ETH Zurich uses the external whistleblowing system Vispato, which is hosted on a server in Germany and ensures your anonymity. All data is encrypted and can only be viewed by ETH Zurich specialists for the purpose of reviewing and/or processing the notice if required.
