Short description
Based on experiences with education on research integrity for PhD students, we have build up a training course on ethics in science, which is adapted to the boundary conditions at a research institute and contains both fundamentals and practical examples. It complements the booklet about guidelines for research integrity, which were elaborated together with EMPA, Eawag and WSL, and which is handed out to each PhD student.
