Research Ethics and Integrity: handling of misconduct at Aalto University

The Finnish National Board on Research Integrity (TENK) has published guidelines for the responsible conduct of research and for handling alleged violations of conduct (the RCR guidelines) in co-operation with the Finnish research community. The objective is to promote the responsible conduct of research (in Finnish hyvä tieteellinen käytäntö) while ensuring that the alleged violations are handled with competence, fairness and expediency.

Aalto University follows a self-regulation framework, which is based on the national guidelines on the identification and investigation of responsible conduct of research (RCR) violations.

Suspicion of misconduct within Aalto University is to be sent to Aalto University’s registry office ([email protected], Kirjaamo, PL 11000) and addressed to the president of Aalto University.
