Safety and crisis management at Stockholm University

Defibrillators (AED)

There are three automated external defibrillators in the Geoscience building:

• House U, floor 2 (at the entrance to the former Geo Library)
• House Y, floor 2 (between rooms Y20 and Y21)
• House S, floor 2 (at the entrance to house S, opposite the caretaker/vaktmästeriet)

Stockholm University shall be characterised by a safe, stimulating and sustainable working environment. All employees and students shall be treated equally and with respect. At Stockholm University we shall jointly safeguard our work and study environment. A good environment enables creative development and excellent outcomes for work and study.

At Stockholm University, victimisation, harassment associated with discrimination on any grounds and sexual harassment are unacceptable and must not take place. Victimisation, harassment and sexual harassment all jeopardise the affected person's job satisfaction and chances of success in work or study. As soon as the university becomes aware that someone has been affected, action will be taken immediately.

Which rooms are available or booked today? See "today's schedule".

Meeting rooms and equipment

Booking of the meeting rooms Navarino, Tarfala and Ymer is done via TimeEdit and is done by yourself. Go to "Staff" via the TimeEdit link below. There you will also find the booking of computers and tablets.

TimeEdit

For other rooms (lecture rooms, computer labs etc.) and to change something in course schedules, please contact lokaler@natgeo.su.se.

Schedule for courses

To get the schedule to end up in TimeEdit and to get rooms booked for the course schedule, create a schedule (for example in Excel) for the course and send it to lokaler@natgeo.su.se. Please provide the course code, otherwise the schedule cannot be booked.

You can get a schedule template to start from by downloading the previous schedule from TimeEdit. Save the schedule on your own computer (in Excel) before start changing. You do not need to put any effort making the schedule to look nice because the appearance of the schedule is different when it is published on the web.

When the schedule is entered/changed in the TimeEdit database, you get back a link, a shortcut, to the schedule. Check and report any errors. The link can be saved as a bookmark / favorite in the browser. It is always up to date and does not need to be changed even if the schedule changes. Students receive the schedule via this link before the start of the course. The schedule is also automatically available in Athena. Avoid printing or saving as a pdf, as the schedule may then become obsolete.

Teaching rooms/labs at the department

Beside these rooms, there are also following rooms in the Geoscience building (with a note of responsible department/unit):

• Y21, Y22 (Department of Human Geography)
• U12, Y10, Y12, Y13, Ahlmannsalen (Department of Environmental Science)
• U10, U13, U27, U28, Y11, William-Olssonsalen (Department of Geological Sciences)
• Nordenskiöldsalen, U11 (Fastighetsavdelningen/Servicecenter)

The goal for the university is to reduce negative environmental impacts and increase positive ones. Negative impacts occur when, for example, we travel on business or do not take environmental considerations into account when purchasing. We create positive impacts when we educate or disseminate knowledge on issues within the environment and sustainable development.

The slogan "it should be easy to be environmentally friendly" is central to the university's environmental work. That is why we have gathered important information and good links here.

The Environmental Committee prepares environmental issues for the department board and prepares and handles the Environmental Action Plan, which is submitted to the board.

The department's environmental committee consists of:

• Martina Hättestrand, Environmental Representative
• Erik Hansson
• Moa Holmlund
• Caroline Greiser
