Abstract
Power abuse is ubiquitous in academia, and is connected to deteriorating mental health of early career researchers and a serious threat to scientific integrity. The fertile ground on which power abuse flourishes are the steep hierarchies and multiple dependencies between early career researchers and their supervisors. During this talk, I am going to present early career researchers' perspectives on power abuse in academia, drawing on findings from three recent surveys in the Max Planck Society, Helmholtz Association and Leibniz society.
