It is necessary to separately agree on compliance with responsible conduct of research, the related applicable guidelines and the handling of possible allegations of violation. Ensure that for example projects that have received EU funding comply with current European research integrity guidelinesActivities that violate RCR

______________________________________________________________
It is very rare for research to be done in isolation. Research is fundamentally a shared activity. We work together with the people in our own research group, we work with others studying in the same field, and we work together with those who make use of our research results.
In this section the focus will be on planning and preparing for different ways we work together with others. Planning for collaboration and having ongoing plans to manage collaborations reduces the risk of ethical problems appearing and will enhance the quality of research output.
