In this portal you will find the Code of Conduct “Guidelines for Safeguarding Good Research Practice” issued by the DFG. The aim of the Code is to create a deeply rooted culture of research integrity in the German research system. The 19 guidelines set out appropriate standards for research work, including comments for practical application. Higher education institutions and non-HEI research institutions implement the guidelines as a requirement for receiving funding from the DFG.
