The reports may concern unlawful behaviours or irregularities that have led to violations and/or behaviours that do not comply with the principles of the Foundation.

In detail, the reports may concern:

• cases of fraud;
• corruption;
• violations of the Code of Conduct and Scientific Conduct;
• violations of the Model pursuant to former Legislative Decree n. 231/01;
• other behaviours that do not comply with laws or regulations.

The reports can be made in registered form (registered user) or anonymous form (unregistered user). However, the first method is recommended in order to allow, with proper protections provided, a more effective investigation activity.

The reports, even if anonymous, must be properly described in detail, in order to provide the useful and appropriate elements to allow an appropriate verification activity on the reported facts.

Where such elements are known by the reporting party, it is particularly important that the report includes:

• a detailed description of the events occurred and how they are made known;
• the date and place where the event occurred;
• the names and roles of the persons involved or, in any case, the elements that can allow their identification;
• the names of any other parties who can report on the facts object of the communication;
• the reference to documents that can confirm the validity of the facts reported.

Furthermore, the notifications must not be used to report personal situations.
