YRC › Find Assistance
Diversity in all forms is important for and valued at STRUCTURES and the YRC. It is our central goal for all members of our community to feel included and receive equal opportunities within the cluster.
In addition to our commitment to diversity, it is also important to have accessible contacts for specific issues that may arise at the university. The aim of this site is to provide information about contact persons for a variety of these problems and to make it easier to find a contact. Please remember that in any case, and also for confidential matters, the YRC Representatives, the STRUCTURES Managing Director, or Trust Professors are available as contacts and happy to help.
Ombudspersons
As confidential counsellors, the ombudspersons advise those who inform them of suspected misconduct in science and examine the plausibility of the allegations. They inform the commission, of which they are advisory members, and submit the cases there for consultation.
