The program includes examples and recommendations on how to deal with conflicts as well as information about possible consequences of misconduct and applicable sanctions. In addition, participants have the possibility to ask questions and to resolve lack of knowledge and uncertainties related to the practical handling of Good scientific practice in everyday work.
