Responsible Science

Scientific work is based on principles that are the same in all countries and in all scientific disciplines. First and foremost is honesty towards oneself and others. It is the basis for the respectful treatment of each other, study participants, animals, cultural assets and the environment and is essential for society's indispensable trust in science.

They are both an ethical norm and the basis of the rules of scientific professionalism, i.e. good scientific practice, which vary from discipline to discipline. Teaching these to students and young scientists and ensuring the conditions for their validity and application in practice is a core task of teaching and the self-administration of science.
