Note: New counselling centre for hostile scientists

The online platform Scicomm-Support supports and advises scientists and science communicators who experience hate speech, threats or intimidation. ScicommSupport is a joint service of the Federal Association of University Communication and "Wissenschaft im Dialog". The free telephone counselling service is available daily from 7 am to 10 pm. In addition, the platform offers information on dealing with attacks in the form of guidelines, checklists and best practice recommendations. Legal advice, help in finding psychological support and workshops on dealing with digital violence will be offered shortly.
