This online course covers the fundamentals of research integrity and good scientific practices at EPFL. Throughout the course, you will gain a comprehensive understanding of the guiding ethical principles and rules for the planning, execution and communication of research.
The course engages you in a simulated science-based research project called Stels. It is specifically developed to support you during your learning journey. At each step, you will face dilemmas requiring decisions from you based on the ethical principles of science.
Throughout the course, you can rely on the “Directive concerning research integrity and good scientific practice at EPFL”, defining the rules that apply to EPFL researchers in all disciplines.
After completing all sections of the course, you can take the final test. The test contains 15 questions, 80% of your answers must be correct for you to pass. This means that you have to answer at least 12 questions correctly.
Before doing the test, prepare yourself well. You may want to review the EPFL Directive, some chapters and the key messages available at the end of the course.
The course was created by the EPFL’s Research Office, in close collaboration with the KeepLearning team.
