DTU Danish Code of Conduct for Research Integrity Possible conflicts of interest may be related to e.g. the following areas relating to the re-search in question: • Ownership or other investments in related companies, including shares • Membership of a Managing Body or equivalent • Membership of a Scientific Advisory Body • Employment • Consultancy/advice • Research funding • Intellectual property rights • Other membership or affiliation • Interests or close family members • Other Disclosure of potential conflicts of interest in general is reported in DTU’s electronic report form for secondary employment as well as in the individual research projects, incl. publica-tions from these. Please see the DTU guidelines for secondary employment, incl. link to the electronic report form for secondary employment here. “Capacity at DTU” can be found here. Potential conflicts: The importance of disclosing potentially conflicting roles Within a social science context, collaboration with a Swedish partner went awry due to a conflict of interest arising late in the project. The Swedish partner was both a re-searcher and privately employed. Before and during the project, collaboration was perceived as an equal researcher-researcher collaboration. However, when the pro-ject was to deliver its final product – a book – the company claimed full authorship and copyright. This led to lengthy and expensive legal negotiations. An agreement with the company should have been made from the beginning. A stakeholder or funding analysis would likely have identified the dual research/company role and conflict of interest.
