Anmeldung: Good Scientific Practice - Protecting Research Integrity [ENG]

Registrations of doctoral candidates will be considered preferentially.

The major objective of the workshop “Good Scientific Practice – Protecting Scientific Integrity” is to know and understand the basic rules and values of the responsible conduct of research in all its stages, according to local, national and international regulations and guidelines. The participants will explore the differences and grey areas between good scientific practice, questionable research practice and scientific misconduct. They will learn how misconduct can be recognized and prevented, and how it should be addressed and dealt with in case it occurs, and what damage it can cause if handled improperly. The participants will learn to develop appropriate solutions for difficult situations in the process of science and receive advice on how to protect their scientific work. They are encouraged to speak with colleagues and the appropriate institutions about mistakes and problems. The content of the workshop follows the curriculum “Good scientific practice” which was commissioned by and developed in cooperation with the German Research Ombudsman. The online workshop encourages the active involvement of the participants and features case discussions, individual working sessions, plenary discussions, and information input. Additional material and other resources will be provided after the workshop. The participants should sit in a quiet room alone, and will need a computer with fast internet access, a suitable browser, a headset or microphone/speakers, and a camera.
