Speaker
Description
Practicing the principles of good and open science does not always align with career advancements in academia. In contrast, there is a tension between what guidelines for research integrity tell us and what we are rewarded for. This is a structural problem that deeply affects research culture. We will start this workshop by simulating how individuals decisions on scientific practices may affect career success through an interactive board game. Afterwards, we will engage in structured reflection on the dilemmas that arise during the simulation and relate them to the challenges you face in your research. We will brainstorm options for how to act in this competitive environment as early career researcher, influence research culture, and turn good practices into career advantages. By the end of this workshop, you will have a better understanding of the dilemmas in research integrity and open science, and will gain practical strategies to navigate these challenges.
