Safety, study environment and student support
As a student at Stockholm University you should know what to do in case of an incident or emergency. On this page we have you who are studying at the Department of Mathematics can find information about safety, reporting incidents and where to get support.
This page complements Stockholm University’s central information about emergencies and serious incidents:
In an emergency
Call 112 if there is an immediate risk to life or health, for example in case of:
- fire
- accident
- threatening situation
- serious illness
You can also contact campus security guards at +46 8 16 42 00. Security guards are available on campus around the clock and can assist in different types of security-related situations.
Incidents and fire alarms in university buildings
It is good to know where emergency exits and assembly points are located in the buildings you regularly use, for example in Campus Albano. Evacuation plans are posted in lecture rooms and other areas of the campus buildings.
In the event of an incident or fire alarm, you should comply with instructions from staff on site (for example security guards or emergency services) and follow the building’s evacuation procedures.
In particular:
- leave the building immediately if instructed to do so
- help keep evacuation routes clear
- follow evacuation signs and instructions on site
After evacuation, proceed to the designated assembly point and wait for further information.
Reporting incidents, accidents or safety risks (IA system)
Accidents, incidents and situations where someone could have been injured should be reported in the university’s incident reporting system (IA).
Examples include:
- accidents or near accidents in university buildings
- safety risks in classrooms or other facilities
- faulty equipment or unsafe environments
- blocked evacuation routes or other safety issues
Students may also submit reports anonymously.
Reporting problems with facilities or equipment
Problems with classrooms, ventilation, lighting, doors or equipment should be reported through SU's Serviceportalen.
Serviceportalen can be found here
Safety risks should always be reported in the IA system.
Harassment, sexual harassment and victimisation
Stockholm University and the Department of Mathematics should be a safe and inclusive study environment. Harassment, sexual harassment and victimisation are not accepted.

If you experience or witness harassment, sexual harassment or victimisation during your studies, it is important to contact someone at the university and explain what has happened. You do not need to decide yourself whether the situation is serious enough.
You may always contact the Head of Administration, who can help guide you further and ensure that the matter is handled appropriately: neshat.lindberg@math.su.se
You may also contact:
a director of studies, study advisor or course coordinator
teachers or other staff members at the department
If you do not wish to contact the department directly, you may also contact Stockholm University’s central equal rights function: likavillkor@su.se
Support for students
If you are affected by a difficult situation or are not feeling well, support is available. You may, for example, contact:
Student Health Services
Stockholm University Student Union (SUS)
Study advisors at the department
Student influence and study environment
Questions concerning the study environment may also be raised through student representation at the department.
