The Berlin University Alliance (BUA) is an alliance of Freie Universität Berlin, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Technische Universität Berlin and Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin. Together, they are pursuing the goal of creating and shaping an integrated research space in Berlin. This alliance aims to establish Berlin as a leading international science location. All workshops and events offered by the Graduate Studies Support Program are funded by the BUA and therefore free of charge.

 

Participation

Doctoral researchers (all disciplines) of the Berlin University Alliance and Universtiät Potsdam.

Please note that all participants for courses on Research Integrity will first be placed on a waiting list. You will shortly receive a confirmation message if places are available.

Before booking a workshop, please make sure that you can attend for the entire duration. Please check our terms and conditions.

 

 

Objectives

The aim of the workshop is to help the participants become more sensitive regarding the ethical problems of their own research. Thereby, they will be enabled to identify specific problematic fields within their work and to analyse them. For that, they learn about the basics of good scientific practice and apply them to their own cases. Finally, the participants work on strategies to deal with their discussed cases.

 

Content

During the course, the participants deal with the following questions:

  • Copyright law, rights of use, publication rights and legal issues related to publications, rights in cases of joint authorship

  • Which scientific standards apply and how do they create exclusion?

  • What claims of validity does research in general have? In which way is research always perspective?

  • What kind of scientific culture is presented and which kind of claims of power are connected with that?

  • How am I responsible for my research?

 

The examination of those questions includes getting to know the standards of good research practice and discussing them. This will also be combined with the fundamentals of philosophy of science. Thus, on the one hand the course communicates norms and standards in research. On the other hand, it focusses on the reflection of what good research practice and the connected values mean for the single participant and her specific work.
