Module 3a: Research data management including an introduction to Open access, Open Science and FAIR principles.

Module 3b: Intellectual property rights standards, rights and duties. 

Module 4: Conflicts of interest and commitment - Communication with the public
Curriculum

2 weeks after the Cource the PhD students hand in a 2 page assignment (max.) in English in which they describe and discuss an aspect of their work that touches upon one or more of the issues on good scientific conduct that has been covered during the course and in the curriculum. For more information please see http://ifro.ku.dk/RCR_assignment.pdf

The assignment will be evaluated by teachers from the course.
