What is it about? 

As a researcher, you have the privilege of working freely and creatively, pursuing your own interests and expanding the knowledge base of the scientific community - and the community in general. This freedom comes with responsibility: the responsibility for self-control, accuracy, honesty, efficiency and objectivity. The scientific community has established rules for research integrity integrity, aimed at preserving the freedom of research and preventing scientific misconduct.
In this workshop, participants will learn about the rules of scientific integrity and good scientific practice and learn how to avoid research misconduct.
