Scope
The Research Integrity Committee’s task is to process and comment on reported cases that address possible serious violations of recognised research ethics norms involving employees at the universities.

- Whether or not the researcher has been involved in scientific dishonesty.
- Whether there are system errors at the institution.
- Whether the scientific work should be corrected or withdrawn.
Everyone, including persons and organisations outside the universities, has the right to report such cases.
