Regarding scientific integrity
All persons associated with the Erasmus MC, and working in science, have a strict responsibility regarding scientific integrity. Erasmus MC endorses the Code of Conduct for research of the Association of universities in the Netherlands (VSNU) and the revised European Code of Conduct for Research Integrity.
Our Research Codes
Erasmus MC policies on academic/scientific integrity are outlined in the Erasmus MC Research Codes, available in Dutch and English.
The following aspects are covered:
- Guidelines for publishing and authorships -> Effective March 1, 2018, the 'Notification System for Academic Integrity Erasmus MC' will replace chapter 2 of the Erasmus MC Research Codes;
- Erasmus MC guidelines in case of scientific misconduct;
- Guidelines inducements by companies;
- Intellectual property;
- Research with patient data and biomaterial.
Mandatory course
The Erasmus MC determines its integrity policy within the integrity code of the Erasmus University Rotterdam (EUR).
A mandatory one-day course academic integrity for all PhD students is part of the policy.

Financial Conflict of Interest Policy related to PHS funded projects
