FH Münster University of Applied Sciences has long been committed to upholding the principles of good scientific practice. The university's teaching staff and researchers must strictly observe the applicable standards and principles in their scientific work at all times, and base their teaching and research activities on them as a matter of course. This also involves the careful use of (natural) resources.
In accordance with the codex of the German Research Foundation (DFG) of 01 August 2019, FH Münster University of Applied Sciences has drawn up the main elements of its previous practice into the following rules, which all academics at the university are required to follow.
The DFG review of these guidelines was positive (April 2022).
