Standing Commission for Safeguarding Good Research Practice

The Standing Commission for Safeguarding Good Research Practice is responsible for the following matters:

The commission is tasked with contributing to the further development of standards and the creation of recommendations for good research practice, investigating allegations of scientific misconduct and conducting the corresponding procedure in accordance with Section 13 of the regulations. It works closely with the University's ombudsperson, although the latter is not a member. The commission is appointed on the recommendation of the Presidential Board in agreement with the Senate.

The responsibility of the Examination, Doctoral and Habilitation Committees as well as the Faculty Boards for determining and penalising academic misconduct in study and examination matters and in direct connection with the awarding of academic degrees remains unaffected.

The commission shall consist of the following members with voting rights for a period of two years

five members of the group of university lecturers (one member per faculty)
two members of the group of academic staff
one member from the group of technical and administrative employees
one member of the group of students

A deputy is appointed for each member, who can take over in the event of concerns of bias or incapacity. The commission can call in other suitable persons in an advisory capacity.
