Good Scientific Practice - GA Offers
All members and employees of TU Dresden are obliged to observe the Guidelines for Safeguarding Good Scientific Practice, for Avoiding Scientific Misconduct and for Dealing with Violations as the basis of their scientific work and to contribute actively to avoiding scientific misconduct within their sphere of responsibility.
It is important to get to know the standards and principles of Good Scientific Practice as early as possible in order to avoid unpleasant surprises later! The GA supports you with a broad training and advisory service specifically developed for your needs.
The GA Qualification Program offers once a semester a 2-day workshop on Good Scientific Practice. The workshop is offered in English in the winter semester and in German in the summer semester.

Furthermore, the Qualification Programm offers a broad spectrum of courses that focus on different questions closely linked to this topic (e.g. Visualisation of Research Data, Scientific Writing, Research Data Management etc.). More information on workshops in the winter semester 2019/20 can be found here.
In addition to the workshops of the Qualification Program the GA also offers short introductory courses in Good Scientific Practice for doctoral candidates.
