Illness
It may happen that you are unable to work due to a short-term or long-term illness or disability.
Short-term or long-term illness

The university strives for everyone to feel comfortable in their position and working environment. If this is not the case, and if there’s something you’d like to discuss in confidence, you’re welcome to contact one of our confidential counsellors. For example:
- if you are confronted with undesirable behavior.
- if you have problems in the workplace.
- if you suspect that someone is violating academic integrity, or if you wish to report (administrative) abuses.
