The participants of the workshop will gain an improved understanding of personal responsibility for good research practice and research integrity. They will understand how research culture can influence individual decision making under pressure, and the costs and consequences of research misconduct. They will gain skills in working with supervisors to support clear and effective communication, project monitoring, and the agreed delegation of responsibilities. After the course, they will have improved knowledge of a fast-evolving research reporting infrastructure that supports reproducibility and good research practice as well as improved skills in ethical reasoning to navigate common grey areas in research practice and research reporting.
