Quality Assurance

Quality assurance will be the responsibility of the Work Package Leaders and the Steeering Group. Final responsibility lies with the Project Coordinator at the Wuppertal Institute.

The Wuppertal Institute has established and implemented rules of good scientific conduct („Regeln guter wissenschaftlicher Praxis am Wuppertal Institut“). These rules fully implement the recommendations of the German Research Union (DFG-Empfehlungen zur „Sicherung guter wissenschaftlicher Praxis“). This was acknowledged by the German Research Union after examination with letter from 1 August 2002.

The quality management system of the Wuppertal Institute will provide for high quality work – according to the above mentioned rules of good scientific conduct –, systematic regular and consistent quality checks by the Project Coordinator, as well as senior staff outside the project team including the responsible research group director and the scientific coordinator of the Wuppertal Institute.
