Fundación General CSIC (FGCSIC), with the support of Banco Santander, is launching two new editions of the Course on Good Scientific Practices, scheduled for September and November 2021. This advanced training is aimed at young scientists (doctoral students) and is an integral component of their preparation and professional development.
The course consists of 11 didactic modules that address different subjects ranging from the fundamentals of scientific integrity for the ethical development of research to the analysis of today’s complex scientific system, including the obligations of the researcher and the relationships between scientists, with other elements of the system and with society. In short, the aim is to provide researchers with clear elements of reference for the proper exercise of their task, including the preparation of projects, execution of research, data collection and processing, protection and communication of results, dissemination activities and evaluation of research.
As in the last three editions, the delivery format will be online, synchronous. Each course will have a duration of 26 teaching hours, spread over five consecutive weeks, and will have a maximum of 25 participants. Those interested can register from the 1st of June.
In 2018, Fundación General CSIC undertook the commitment to promote training initiatives to raise awareness and educate in good practices among those starting out in research as has been demanded by accredited national and international forums and institutions. To this end, the Foundation has since organised seven editions of the Course on Good Scientific Practices, four on-site and three online, in which 170 students have participated. With the two new editions that will take place in 2021, FGCSIC reinforces its commitment to the implementation and consolidation of a culture of scientific integrity and responsible research in Spanish science.
