Academic Integrity and Research Ethics
Good Academic Practice
Academic work requires integrity. Above all, there must be honesty towards oneself and towards others. It is part of our identity to observe the principles of good academic practice (GWP) and to ensure that they are adhered to. The five basic principles of good academic practice at the University of Bremen, contact persons, and general information can be found on the "Good Academic Practice" page.
moreResponsible Research
At the University of Bremen, we research, teach, and learn in a manner that is responsible for society and for peaceful and sustainable global development. In this context, the academic transparency of the research findings and methods applied is an important feature of all activities. Maintaining and expanding the dialog and cooperation with international partner institutions is of great importance for the University of Bremen. This is to be done on the basis of a clear commitment to freedom of research and with due regard to good academic practice.
moreAnimal Testing in Research and Teaching
At the University of Bremen, animals are used for research into the systemic basis of neuropsychiatric diseases, for diabetes research, and for basic research in brain research. Animal experiments are controversial in the public sphere and misinformation often circulates. This page on animal experiments at the University of Bremen is currently being created to counteract this. It is intended to provide insight into the goals, motivation, and work with animals at this scientific institution.
