Responsible Research

The graduate programs of the Life Science Campus Großhadern/Martinsried together with the GraduateCenterLMU will jointly host an event on responsible conduct in research. Master students, doctoral candidates, postdocs, senior scientists - all are welcome!

Researchers are obliged to conform to rules of Good Scientific Practice. While this might seem obvious at first glance, a closer look reveals that these rules are often implicit, and sometimes the border between acceptable and unacceptable practice may remain unclear. To raise awareness about these questions, life science graduate programs in the greater Munich area and the GraduateCenterLMU have joined forces to organize a campus-wide educational event.

Keynote lectures, breakout sessions and "meet the speaker" forums, active breaks and interactive participation!

What is responsible research? How can I present data accurately and reproducibly? What are conflicts of interest? What about preprint publishing and how does this change the conventionell publication routines? What do I need to know about open science? Where is the link between mental health, well-being and responsible research? What is an ombudsperson and why should we discuss responsible conduct of research in the global context? These – and more – topics will be approached for researchers of all generations.
