Ethics and Scientific Integrity for Doctoral Students of the MIM PhD Program
Last Updated: 2026-06-03 00:14:15
Abstract
This course (e-learning module combined with workshop) equips doctoral students with knowledge and tools to recognize, discuss and address ethical issues of their research.
Objective
Doctoral students learn how to identify, analyze and address ethical issues in their own research. They will also reflect on their professional role as scientists.
Content
Doctoral students may encounter ethical issues during their research activities. This practical course aims at equipping students with knowledge and tools to recognize, discuss and address ethical aspects of their research. In an e-learning module, students will be introduced to ethics and good scientific practice, and they will be familiarized with resources that can assist them with ethical decision-making. In the following face-to-face workshop, students will apply and critically discuss their knowledge and share their experiences with fellow doctoral students in a biology-specific context. The first part is a self-paced e-learning module (Moodle). The second part (face-to-face workshop) provides an interactive learning environment.
