Esslingen University of Applied Sciences has drawn up sets of rules to maintain high-quality research standards. These rules are modelled on the recommendations of the German Research Foundation (DFG) and the members of Esslingen University of Applied Sciences are required to comply with them.

Statues for Safeguarding Good Scientific Practice

If research misconduct is suspected, the usual procedure is to contact one of two ombudspersons initially to obtain clarification. If this does not produce the desired effect, the ombudsperson contacts the Research Integrity Committee.

Ombudspersons

Dealing with intellectual property (IP), such as publications and patents, is not always an easy task in the broad field of tension between duty of confidentiality and duty of publication. Esslingen University of Applied Sciences has drawn up a strategy for this.
