The major objective of this workshop is to know and understand the basic principles and rules of the responsible conduct of research. The participants will explore differences and grey areas between good practice, questionable practices and scientific misconduct. They will learn how misconduct can be recognized and prevented and why and how it should be addressed and dealt with. The participants will learn how to protect their work and are encouraged to speak with colleagues about important issues.
