Confidential advisors & Ombuds Officers

Confidential advisors

If you are confronted with undesirable behaviour or suspect a possible breach of integrity within TU Delft, you can contact one of the confidential advisors. For support and advice.  

The confidential advisors offer a listening ear, give advice and help you explore steps you can take. Whether it’s about academic integrity (e.g. plagiarism), social integrity (e.g. intimidation or bullying), or organisational integrity (e.g. fraud or abuse of power).  

Confidential advisors have a duty of confidentiality and can refer you to other specialists if necessary.  

Anyone who works or studies at TU Delft can contact the team of confidential advisors. This means: staff, students, external PhD candidates and researchers/lecturers with a hospitality agreement.
