Research Integrity at FU Berlin and the Department of Biology, Chemistry, Pharmacy
Good scientific/research practice lays down rules for conduct in academia that relate to research ethics, leadership roles and collaboration, the handling of one's own and others' data, and much more.
Besides the Freie Universität’s new Statute for Safeguarding Good Scientific Practice / GWP-Satzung; (here the non-binding English translation), there are a number of services and contacts that you can turn to with your questions, doubts or if you suspect a misconduct:
The Coordination Office for Research Integrity has been established to oversee the implementation of the Statute for Safeguarding Good Scientific Practice and to act as a point of contact for all members of Freie Universität Berlin seeking advice on good research practice.
The Department of Biology, Chemistry, Pharmacy offers help and advice through two recently elected ombudspersons:
Sophie Armitage, PhD and Prof. Dr. Dr. h. c. Matthias F. Melzig
You can find more information here: https://www.bcp.fu-berlin.de/en/forschung/gute-wissenschaftliche-praxis/index.html
Dr. Alette Winter and Simone Schlender from the Coordination Office of the Graduate Center are also available as first points of contact. You can find our contact details here: https://www.bcp.fu-berlin.de/en/graduiertenzentrum/kontakt/koord-ma/index.html

Gender, Diversity & Career Development day // July 1, 2024
The next ‘Gender, Diversity & Career Development day’ is coming up!
Monday, 1.07.2024 | 9 AM – 4.30 PM
FU Berlin | SupraFAB | Altensteinstr. 23a | 14195 Berlin
You are warmly invited!
This time it's about career planning and career paths for natural scientists.
How much planning does a career in science require? Which aspects are most relevant: topic, publications, third-party funding, networking, choice of mentors, personal life goals? What strategies can help me plan my next career steps in- and outside of academia?
Experienced scientists will share their thoughts and in addition to coaching workshops, there will also be a workshop on how to find more confidence and ease in your body even in times of stress and uncertainty.
For further information please see the attached flyer!
Please register as soon as possible with mention of the chosen workshops (gender-diversityCRC1449@bcp.fu-berlin.de contact: Dr. Sarah Huch).
