Problems and conflicts can arise in any working environment. It is important to address these situations and to find sustainable solutions.
The Max Planck Society supports its employees in conflict management in the workplace. Depending on whether the situation relates to a conflict with colleagues or superiors, a complaint about misconduct or report of a grievance, or seeking advice due to their personal situation, the Max Planck Society provides appropriate contact and reporting points.

Getting together and working with other people can lead to a number of challenges, ranging from open conflict to various forms of harassment and even discrimination. At the University of Konstanz, we provide information, advice and support to all our members who find themselves in difficult situations. The tips published on this page are sorted by university groups and types of conflict, which we hope will make it easier for you to identify the correct contact person to talk to about your current issue. Any concerns that you raise with us, as well as any consultations and discussions, are kept strictly confidential.

For any problem relating to life as an undergraduate, graduate or doctoral students such as study related issues, difficulties in relationships or mental health problems, we are there to support and assist you in getting into a problem solving process. Our services are free and confidential.
We also offer counselling in groups to teach techniques to improve study organisation, enhance stress relief or to strengthen social skills further.
