The course focuses on the definitions of good research practice, potential problem and conflict areas, misconduct in science and how to deal with misconduct as well as general and specific responsibilities. You learn practical skills to deal with conflict situations in your research practice. Furthermore, you acquire knowledge about the rules of good research practice and learn to make responsible decisions in your everyday research work and how to protect your scientific work.
