What is the relation between good and successful research, on the one hand, and ethical and responsible research, on the other hand?

This workshop focuses on typical conflicts that particularly early career researchers may face in the context of a publish-or-perish culture: Is it okay for me to ignore and leave out statistical “outliers” when presenting my research data in case they impact the overall results more than I would like? Is such data “massaging” already scientific misconduct? How transparent must research practice be, when at the same time one has to succeed in the competitive world of scientific research? How to respond when you notice academic misconduct by a colleague? How should you handle problematic expectations of your supervisor?
In this workshop, however, we not only want to explain that these areas of conflict exist, but above all provide tools that can help you make your own decisions. We will do this by discussing realistic cases and using these cases to illustrate how easy it is to overlook important things and thus unintentionally overstep boundaries. In this way, participants can acquire the skills they need to recognise and avoid scientific misconduct. The workshop provides general skills and knowledge of research ethics needed for scientists to address the questions raised above. Participants attain the skills to rationally reflect on their role as a scientist from an ethical standpoint, including the specific expectations that role involves in a broader social context.
 
The workshop will show that successful research goes hand in hand with ethical and responsible research.
 

Open Consultation Hour for Your Questions on Ethical Responsibility in Studies, Research, Teaching, and Innovation
 
Especially in uncertain times and times of significant (personal, societal, global) changes, we can face challenges – particularly in our professional and student lives. We often ask ourselves whether we should do something, what we can do, or who else is responsible for taking action.
 
The ARRTI-Café is our offer to engage with us in an informal atmosphere about your thoughts and questions on ethics and responsibility in the university context.
 
Do you work or study at KIT? Are you concerned about a topic where you see a need for action but don't know how to act or what to do? Or do you wonder who is ethically responsible for what and why in this context, and what it means to act responsibly here? Or are you generally interested in the dimensions of ethical responsibility in studies and work?  
In an open exchange, we bring our expertise and work together with you to determine whether and how questions of responsibility arise in your concern, exploring the reasons, possibilities, scope, and limits of personal and institutional responsibility.
