Objective
The major objective of the workshop “Good Research Practice” is to provide specific knowledge on the topic of research ethics, allowing the participants to reflect their own guiding values and attitudes in their role as researchers. The workshop furthers an understanding of 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 prevented and should be addressed and dealt with in case it occurs.
Causes and consequences of scientific misconduct at all levels will also be addressed. The participants are offered opportunities to acquire and practice the necessary skills on the proper handling of conflict situations for a responsible conduct of research. Participants are encouraged to discuss potential questions, ambiguities and doubts from their own research practice.
