Unit for Quality Assurance

 

The Unit for Quality Assurance acts as the Office for the Ethics Committee and the Ombuds Office of the University of Vienna for ensuring compliance with good scientific practice.
Researchers at the University of Vienna can avail themselves of the services of the Ethics Committee if they wish to ensure that their research does not involve any potentially unethical and/or adverse effects for the persons or animals involved or the environment.

The Ombuds Office considers itself the first contact point for researchers wishing to lodge a complaint about academic misconduct.
