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.

Objectives

Objectives are to give students a comprehensive sense of what it takes to do science professionally and ethically. It is commonly assumed that students will automatically pick up what they need to know about science by simply observing others in the lab. Of course, a great deal can be learned that way but if the more experienced scientists who are the role models are themselves defective in some of their practices, young scientists who are learning from them can miss out or even be misled about important matters. This workshop aims to make clear what the essential elements of good scientific practice are, both in terms of professional standards of what constitutes good science, and the ethical dimensions of scientific work. A key point is that matters of what seem like purely professional standards in research are often intimately linked with matters of ethics and responsible conduct toward others and science itself.
 

 

Content

The workshop 'On Doing Sound and Ethical Science' will consist of three parts: the first will be a three hour introduction to the different elements of the subject and how they fit together; the second, a written assignment, involving a choice of topics, to be carried out over several weeks, by two or three students working together, and; third, a final session, in which we meet together and discuss the contributions.
