Caféen? at the faculty of SCIENCE aims to establish a hospitable and inclusive atmosphere for all members, including students, university staff, volunteers, and association members. To promote equality and respect, Caféen? members are expected to refrain from engaging in behaviour that is offensive, intimidating, hostile, degrading, or humiliating to others. This Code of Conduct is applicable to all activities held at Caféen?s premises as well as events hosted elsewhere.

The Code of Conduct for Caféen? consists of two separate parts: one for members and one for volunteers. Both parts are equally important and serve to establish the expected standards of behaviour for those who participate in Caféen? 's activities. The code of conduct also includes a short example list of unacceptable behaviour as well as a guide on how to report misconduct.

Caféen? strives to provide a safe and inclusive environment for all our members, and any incidents of unacceptable behaviour should be reported immediately.

Where and how to report

In case of sexual harassment, bullying, threats to your safety, or any other inappropriate behaviour violating this code of conduct, if possible immediately inform one of the on-duty volunteers at the bar so they can take the appropriate steps.

Students and university staff members are also encouraged to turn to the counsellors at their own institute to report instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise discriminatory behaviour from students or university staff members.

Volunteers are encouraged to contact the association board at cafe@cafeen.org or one of the safety representatives. Reports can be filed anonymously and will be handled with complete confidentiality.
All reports will be reviewed, investigated and appropriately responded to. Note that due to the nature of anonymous complaints it is difficult to investigate and prove misconduct.
