Prof. Heiner Bubb and Petra Marzin to safeguard good scientific practice
New ombudspersons elected
Scientists at TUM may contact the ombudspersons at the independent Research Integrity Office for advice on questions relating to good scientific practice. Furthermore, TUM has implemented guidelines to ensure good scientific practice oriented towards the recommendations of the German Research Foundation (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft).
The ombudspersons can also be consulted confidentially in cases where scientific misconduct is suspected. They conduct preliminary investigations and mediate conflicts. When the ombudspersons identify scientific misconduct which cannot be rectified, they convene an ombudsperson committee for further examination.
Experienced individuals chosen
The TUM Senate elected Prof. Heiner Bubb as ombudsperson and Petra Marzin as his deputy for a period of three years. They succeed Prof. Joachim Heinzl and Prof. Angelika Görg.
Prof. Heiner Bubb held the TUM Chair of Ergonomics from 1993 to 2009. Before that he conducted research and taught at Catholic University Eichstätt-Ingolstadt.
