Codes of Conduct for Research Integrity
The Netherlands Code of Conduct for Research Integrity endorsed by 6 umbrella organizations, including the VSNU, which entered into force with effect from 1 October 2018, provides details of these principles. Next to that TU/e has its own Code of Scientific Conduct. This TU/e Code of Conduct offers a more concise version, which also takes into account the specific characteristics of scientific activities at a university of technology. The TU/e code therefore includes norms for design-oriented activities, and it restricts the confidentiality of data and research results in the interests of researchers (e.g., PhDs, post-docs, PDEngs). At other points, where there are differences in nuance or formulation, the Netherlands Code of Conduct for Research Integrity prevails.
TU/e Code of Scientific Conduct
At TU/e you are trained to carry out academic research with integrity. To make clear exactly what is meant by academic integrity, a code has been drawn up identifying five central values, each of which is accompanied by a number of related norms and principles. The central values are: trustworthiness, intellectual honesty, openness, independence and societal responsibility.

The TU/e also offers the possibility to report anonymously through the TU/e SpeakUp Line. More information can be found on the intranet.
Research Integrity Promotion Plan
The Executive board of TU/e supports the European Commission actively in promoting Research Integrity in Horizon Europe. In the European Code of Conduct for Research Integrity, fundamental principles of Research Integrity are described such as: reliability, honesty, respect, and accountability. To facilitate and ensure that researchers can translate these principles into their own responsible research practices, the European Commission asks all Research Performing Organizations (RPOs) to provide a Research Integrity Promotion Plan (RIPP). This plan covers nine topics related to Research Integrity and describes how the organization (through appropriate procedures, policies and structures) facilitates researchers in all these topics.
Read moreOpenness in Animal Experiments
The Code of Conduct on Openness in Animal Experiments has been drawn up to put into practice the broadly supported view in society that openness on scientific research with animals is desirable and necessary.
Animal experiments at TU/e fall under the responsibility of the Animal Experiments Center (‘Centrale Proefdiervoorziening’) of Maastricht University. For more information, including the Annual Report on Animal Experiments, please see the website of the Animal Experiments Committee (‘Dier Experimenten Commissie’) of Maastricht University.
