News : GWT bases its business activities on transparency and legally compliant action

The topic of secon­dary employ­ment and the acqui­si­tion of third-party fun­ding at uni­ver­si­ties is not neces­s­a­rily always per­cei­ved posi­tively by the public. Rese­arch, such as the Cor­rec­tiv article on RWTH Aachen Uni­ver­sity published in July, paints a pic­ture of how rese­arch using third-party fun­ding can be misused.
The GWT is aware of the importance of trans­pa­rency and sci­en­ti­fic dili­gence in con­tract rese­arch. In its work as a link bet­ween pri­vate and public cli­ents on the one hand, and its net­work of sci­en­tists on the other, it bases its busi­ness acti­vi­ties on legally com­pli­ant and data pro­tec­tion-sen­si­tive action and rejects all forms of cor­rup­tion and the accep­tance of advan­ta­ges. Details can be found in the cur­rent data pro­tec­tion and anti-cor­rup­tion policy.
With the estab­lish­ment of an ISO-cer­ti­fied qua­lity and risk manage­ment sys­tem, every rese­arch pro­ject is sub­ject to the hig­hest qua­lity stan­dards and a for­ward-loo­king risk assessment.
