Good Scientific Practice refers to the set of ethical, methodological, and professional standards that ensure research is conducted responsibly, transparently, and with integrity. These terms are widely used, but what do they really mean in practice?

How can we recognize bad scientific practice and which actions can we take? How can we make sure to practice good scientific practice in highly competitive research environments, in which “publish or perish” is still the prevailing mantra?

After attending the summer school, participants

• Know the standards for Good Scientific Practice
• Can recognize cases of Bad Scientific Practice
• Have the information and tools to know how to act in cases of Bad Scientific Practice, when it happens to them, or in their environment

PhD students in the GSMHS, and former PhD programs in Biomedical Engineering and PPHS.

Preference is given to students in the PhD program in Biomedical Engineeringing that never attended a summer school before.

PhD students in ITI HealthTech (The University of Strasbourg)

Max 25 participants (¾ Basel, ¼ Strassbourg)

Various lectures, to be announced.

Participation in the Summer School entitles you to 1 ECTS. You must be present for the entire week.

Registration is via services.unibas.ch and opens on 01.01.2026. 

As we have a limited number of places, we will give priority to DBE students who have never participated in a summer school and who are in their final stage of doctoral studies (since participation in at least one summer school is mandatory before graduation).
