Description

The major objective of the live online workshop “Good Scientific Practice” 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. It is also a goal of the course to create space for reflexions about values and attitudes of science and the role of scientists. The content of the workshop follows the curriculum “Good scientific practice” which was commissioned and developed in cooperation with the German Research Obudsman.
