Tuition costs 500 USD per year, and the application deadline for Master in Wetenschappelijke Integriteit Cursus is Aug 31, 2026.

Navigating the complex landscape of research ethics, this intensive one-day course equips PhD candidates at Erasmus MC with the essential tools to maintain academic rigor and personal integrity throughout their doctoral journey. Taught by the Department of Medical Ethics, Philosophy and History of Medicine, the training moves beyond abstract theory to address the tangible challenges researchers face in real-world laboratory and clinical settings.

Core Integrity Frameworks

The curriculum is designed to provide actionable guidance on the following critical areas:

• Scientific misconduct: Identifying, reporting, and preventing breaches of research standards.
• Authorship protocols: Understanding the complex rules governing credit and accountability in collaborative research.
• Institutional support: Mapping the resources and reporting channels available specifically within the Erasmus MC ecosystem.
• Ethical resilience: Navigating professional pressures while maintaining individual integrity.

Participants are expected to complete preparatory homework assignments distributed two weeks prior to the session. It is strongly recommended that students enroll during their second year of research, ensuring they have sufficient practical experience to benefit from the discussions on authorship disputes and institutional reporting procedures.
