Ethical issues

Masaryk University and the Faculty of Medicine MU are aware of their social responsibility and that ethical values need to be preserved and sustainably developed. A comprehensive system of ethical rules and principles, which are binding, has been developed for all members of the academic community, professional and research staff and other employees of the university.

The basic ethical requirements for the conduct of Masaryk University employees with regard to their professional activities are summarised in Masaryk University Code of Ethics. The requirement to observe ethical principles is also contained in the MU Employment Code. Complaints regarding violations of employee and student rights may be forwarded to the MU Ombudsperson. If a violation of ethical principles in research is suspected, a complaint can be filed through the FM Legal Office (or the MU Ombudsperson).
