Research Integrity

Tilburg University is committed to protecting and guaranteeing scientific integrity.

Welcome

In the Tilburg University Code of Conduct a framework is provided for reflection on the university’s principles and core values: integrity, respect, expertise and involvement. Research integrity is an essential and integral part of good research practices and is a key element in the education of future generations of researchers. Tilburg University endorses the Netherlands Code of Conduct for Research Integrity which also includes compliance with applicable regulations on for example data management and personal data (GDPR) and possible review of research by the School’s Ethics Review Board.
