The Research School Network Halle extended invitations to all participating doctoral researchers to the third summer meeting. Doctoral researchers from research schools in the field of Natural Sciences and Agricultural and Food Economics had the opportunity to get into contact in a stimulating atmosphere, which fostered exchange and creates opportunities for collaborations. The meeting started with an interactive workshop on science communication and ended with a get-together. Food and non-alcoholic drinks were provided for free, alcoholic beverages were available for a small fee. PIs and postdocs were also welcome!

[IMPRS] Online Tutorial: Responsible Research and Publication Ethics (August 11, 2020)
New scientists aspire to contribute to their disciplines by conducting interesting research and publishing their findings to advance science. As part of their training, they are not only responsible for learning and understanding the technical aspects of their scientific work but the fundamental expectations and obligations in its honest execution. Responsible conduct of research and publication ethics can sometimes be challenging. While most researchers may feel they have a good grasp of what they are responsible for and how to avoid misconduct, there are a lot of gray areas that could inadvertently lead them down the wrong path. This interactive talk will aim to address questions that arise as research is conducted, submitted to journals, peer reviewed, and ultimately published. It will also give an overview on the standard forms of misconduct (and how to avoid them) as well as provide answers to questions surrounding authorship and what constitutes a publication.
[in conjunction with IMPRS-STNS] Good scientific practice seminar (January 23, 2019)
This seminar presented the basic principles and rules of good scientific practice. Fundamentals of scientific work, i.e. professional standards and documentation of results, were discussed. Further topics were handling of primary data (backup and storing) and scientific publications (authorship and scam journals). Also management of research data, following the FAIR principles was briefly introduced. The then recent examples of scientific misconduct illustrated the official procedures at the institutions and possible consequences. The rules apply worldwide and for all subjects and every researcher at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg and the Max Planck Institute of Microstructure Physics has to comply with these rules.
