Scientific integrity in the research professions
The aim of this training course is to disseminate a culture of scientific integrity within institutions. More than just imparting knowledge, the aim is to raise awareness of the various issues associated with scientific integrity and to encourage a critical approach by providing the basic elements needed to understand and meet the requirements of scientific integrity.
This training will be conducted in English and via FunMOOC platform.
With a few exceptions, French universities do not award ECTS credits during the doctorate, as they consider that the doctorate is not, or only to a very limited extent, teaching in the form of courses, but an apprenticeship in research.
