Research ethics and scientific fraud
The online Workshop about Research ethics and scientific fraud will take place on the 7^th
of April. The link for the Zoom meeting at 10:00 will be available here soon!

The idea for this workshop arose from the work of Jana Christopher: she is an Image Data Integrity Analyst since 2011. Her job is to detect and flag up issues in scientific papers’ images and to verify allegations of illegitimate image manipulation post-publication. She fiercely fights against scientific misconduct, which in the last decades became one of the biggest threats to science credibility. She will explain us her work and why it is important.

Moreover, Manuel Guerrero (University of Uppsala, Sweden), who is part of the Human Brain Project’s Ethics Team, will talk about Principles of Responsible Research and Innovation and Harald Kleinberger-Pierer (FH Joanneum, Austria), a historian who also contributed to the Human Brain Project, will talk about Scientific Fraud in the History of Science.
As new generation of scientists it is important that we acknowledge the problem and talk about it openly, to avoid tripping over the same mistakes and try to contain misconduct. For this reason at the end of the talks there will be half an hour of common discussion.
