We want Aalto to be a place where everyone can speak up when something seems off. If you notice that the Code or its spirit isn’t being followed, please raise your concern with your teacher, if you are a student, or your supervisor, if you are an employee. 

If, for any reason, you don’t feel comfortable approaching this person, you can use these resources to raise your concern.

1. If you’re worried about inappropriate behaviour or harassment, read more on aalto.fi or .
2. If you’ve noticed issues related to occupational health or physical security, you can find reporting instructions here: Occupational safety
3. If you’ve seen possible evidence of unethical scientific practices, consult this page: Handling of misconduct
4. If your concern touches privacy and IT security, contact: dpo@aalto.fi or security@aalto.fi
5. In cases related to potential financial fraud, bribery, conflict of interest, unauthorized use of Aalto property or other suspected misconduct, contact: 

More information about Aalto University ethical channel and whistleblower protection Ethical channel | Aalto University. You can also contact Aalto University’s Head of Legal for further advice. 

We know that raising a concern, even when it’s the right thing to do, can be stressful. That being said, we encourage you to do so in your own name. Intervening in the problem is more efficient when we have the opportunity to get all the facts.

What happens when you raise a concern

We promise to fairly and properly investigate concerns according to university procedures.

Following an investigation, if we find a violation has occurred, corrective and disciplinary action may be taken. Disciplinary actions will be determined on a case-by-case basis and in accordance with applicable laws and rules. We always follow up on the outcomes of investigations. 

Issues that relate to the university as a whole and require general development are proceeded at the university level, under the supervision of Aalto’s Head of Legal.
