Student Projects and Thesis

The IAM-KWT group reinforces that all team members must present research integrity and good research practices. Further information and guidelines regarding scientific work and writing are listed below.

KIT oiffers a course on "Good Scientific Practice". In this online course students learn which rules and standards of the scientific system are already relevant during their studies and how research is conducted accordingly to good scientific practice. In addition, KIT provides courses on literature search and reference management "Literature Research Skills" as well as academic writing "Writing and Text Competence".
