Responsible Research 2017

For next generation researchers

20.07.2017

Responsible Research-SavetheDate

All researchers are obliged to conform to rules of Good Scientific Practice. These rules are implicit, but the border between acceptable and unacceptable practice is often unclear. What is responsible research conduct? How can I present data accurately? What exactly is plagiarism? What are the pros and cons of open science? What is an ombudsperson?

This year's focus will be on data accuracy and reproducibility, but topics such as animal experiments, avoiding plagiarism, dos-and-don’ts of image processing will also be addressed by local and external experts.

Open to students, doctoral candidates, postdocs – scientists of all levels
