As part of a cooperation agreement with Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin dated November 15, 2023, the Forum Transregionale Studien is committed to implementing the DFG Code of Conduct "Guidelines for Safeguarding Good Research Practice". These guidelines apply to the scientific and academic staff of the Forum Transregionale Studien. The rules of Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin for safeguarding good scientific practice apply to the Forum. The ombudsperson(s) and the "Commission for the Investigation of Allegations of Academic Misconduct" (KWF) of Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin are also available as contact person(s) for permanent staff members of the Forum who have no other institutional affiliation or employment in matters of good academic practice. In addition, it is possible to turn to the DFG's Ombudsman Committee in the event of questions and conflicts in the area of good scientific practice or scientific integrity.

The "Academic Integrity" portal offers a practical commentary on the "Guidelines for Safeguarding Good Academic Practice".
