This workshop is essential to understand the basic rules and values of the responsible conduct of research in all its stages. In this workshop, the participants will explore the differences and grey areas between good scientific practice, questionable research practice and scientific miscunduct. Further, the participants will learn how to recognize and prevent scientific misconduct, develop appropriate solutions for difficult situations and receive advice on how to protect your scientific work. They are encouraged to speak with colleagues and the appropriate institutions about mistakes and problems. The content of the workshop follows the curriculum “Good scientific practice” which was commissioned by and developed in cooperation with the German Research Ombudsman.

This workshop will guide you from your raw data to a finalised poster telling your own story. Starting with the differences between a poster, a talk, and a paper, you will learn how a poster is structured, which stories science can tell (fairy tale, criminal writing, etc.), what the pros and cons of each story type are, which story type matches your data best. And how illustrations, colours, and arrangement help you to communicate your story.
