Confidential advisors academic integrity
There are three confidential advisors academic integrity. You can choose who to contact.
Ferdinand Grozema
I am Ferdinand Grozema, one of the internal confidential counselors that employees and students can contact to discuss issues relating to academic integrity. Conversations with me are strictly confidential. I will try to identify the problem with you and explore what further steps you may want to take. You always remain in control: I will not take any action without your permission.
I am a professor of Chemical Engineering at the Faculty of Applied Sciences (AS). I study fundamental electronic processes in materials that can be applied in, for example, solar cells or other applications where absorption of light and conduction play a role. Furthermore, I have been teaching in the field of scientific writing for several years now, with special attention to ethical/integrity aspects of publishing scientific research.

I am a professor in the Department of Marine and Transportation Engineering in the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering (ME). Our research focuses on improving and developing tools for transporting and manipulating granular materials. For this purpose, we develop models that describe the interaction between the materials and tools. These models are applied within various technological fields: ports and terminals, recycling and waste treatment, space mining, deep-sea mining, agri- and food technology.

I am a professor of Experimental Hydraulic Engineering in the Department of Hydraulic Engineering at the Faculty of CEG, where I work on transport and mixing in turbulent flows as they occur in rivers and coastal areas.

External confidential advisor
Carin van der Hor
My name is Carin van der Hor. I work as an independent, external confidential advisor, mainly for organisations with social objectives. I also work as an interim manager, trainer and coach. I have worked in development cooperation and emergency aid for a long time and have always had a special interest in protection issues, including the topic of social safety.
As an external confidential advisor at TU Delft, I am a point of contact for all (former) employees and (former) students who are (or have been) confronted with undesirable behaviour or who have noticed a potential integrity violation of another kind. Examples of undesirable behaviour include (sexual) harassment, discrimination, bullying and aggression. If you are confronted with such behaviour, I can offer support and think along with you. Filing a complaint can be an option, but other solutions can be considered as well. You can also approach me if you have identified a possible integrity violation in the organisational field – such as a conflict of interest, financial fraud or abuse of power. In that case, you can discuss with me how you might report this. Important to bear in mind: everything we discuss remains confidential. I have a duty of confidentiality.
