Better Safe than Sorry - How Early-Career Researchers Overcome Risks and Avoid Pitfalls when Submitting Applications and Performing Research
An Online Lecture Series on Compliance Topics for Early-Career Researchers
What do I have to consider when handling research data? What do third-party funding institutions expect from me? What can I use research funds for? What rights do I have to my research results? Who am I even allowed to cooperate with?
Answers to these and many other questions can be found in the online lecture series Better safe than sorry - How early-career researchers overcome risks and avoid pitfalls when submitting applications and performing research.
Successful researchers know the legal and ethical requirements for their research projects. Compliance aspects are becoming increasingly important, especially when applying for and carrying out third-party funded projects - for example, for project funding the German Research Foundation (DFG) expects applicants to provide information on the legal framework.
The lectures of the series are offered in German or English.
Why participate?
Our aim is to support you in successfully carrying out your research projects, keeping an eye on all legal and administrative guidelines and avoiding unnecessary stumbling blocks. Take the opportunity to exchange ideas with our experts and discuss your questions.
Who can participate?
The lecture series is aimed at postdocs, doctoral students and other interested early-career researchers who wish to acquire basic knowledge on compliance-matters related to research.
