Our Research Principles
Rules for scientific research
We commit ourselves to ensure good scientific practice. In case of suspicion or allegations regarding scientific misconduct, there are ombudsmen at the disposal of all university members. Upon request of the ombudsman, the standing committee for the investigation of allegations of scientific misconduct will take action.
