Workshop: Good scientific practice

Workshop: Good scientific practice

Event Date: 09.09.2021:

Any responsible conduct of research should be based on honesty, accuracy, efficiency, and objectivity. The workshop Good Scientific Practice focuses on these scientific standards of international research. It raises awareness of the subject matter by providing doctoral candidates with a set of professional values and ethical norms as well as required competencies and skills to pursue scientific integrity. The content of the course follows the curriculum “Safeguarding Good Scientific Practice” (Memorandum and Code of Conduct) of the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG).
