Leaving GDD Checklist

Use this checklist when a team member, student, visitor, or collaborator finishes their role.

This page needs to be updated

The checklist below is the original starter list carried over from the previous handbook structure. It has not been reviewed against current GDD or UNIGE practice — the departure procedure, system list, and record-retention requirements all need to be confirmed with GDD operations before this page is approved. Treat it as a prompt for conversation, not as the authoritative procedure.

Starter checklist

  • Confirm final working date, responsibilities, and handover owner.
  • Transfer project knowledge, decisions, files, code, and administrative records.
  • Resolve ownership and permitted future use of data, code, manuscripts, and materials.
  • Update repository, storage, mailing-list, and system access.
  • Return equipment and close purchasing or travel items.
  • Confirm authorship, acknowledgements, contact details, and unfinished publications.
  • Archive or transfer records according to retention and security requirements.
  • Hold a final handover meeting and record open actions.
