As part of efforts to strengthen research ethics at UiB and ensure good familiarity with basic research ethical norms and guidelines, the e-learning course “Introduction to Research Ethics” has been developed. The course aims to provide employees in scientific positions with knowledge of the responsibility both the institution and the individual have to ensure that research is ethically sound. It also provides information on how the University of Bergen handles cases of possible scientific misconduct and how to report such cases. The course is mandatory for employees in scientific positions.

The course is available in Norwegian and English and takes approximately 15 minutes to complete. Link to the course: “Introduction to Research Ethics”:
