Scientific integrity and ethics are central aspects in promoting scientific progress and the reputation of research in society. Important elements to ensure the integrity and credibility of research are honesty, transparency and reliability as well as a commitment to evidence-based research and ensuring the reproducibility of research results. Furthermore, legal (Good Clinical Practice, Human Research Act) and regulatory requirements must be adhered to. Potential conflicts of interest must be declared and avoided. The Faculty of Medicine follows the guidelines of the University of Bern, the university hospitals, and higher-level national institutions such as the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) and the Swiss Academies of Arts and Sciences. In addition, the Faculty of Medicine has anchored the topic of "Scientific Integrity" in its Strategy 2030 as an important functional strategy.
