Projects

The QUEST Center conducts projects in various areas such as Open Science, Stakeholder Engagement, Incentives & Indicators, and Quality Assurance. We are developing new approaches in design, analysis and reporting in biomedical, both preclinical and clinical research to improve research. To learn more about our projects, please use our filter options below.

Complementary to our implementation activities, we have established the Monitoring & Evaluation System COMPASS. For more information, please see here.

In the scope of COMPASS, we have developed a modular self-evaluation tool on responsible research practices. Whether you are a student, want to develop as a researcher/research team, or want to improve research evaluation from a reviewer's perspective, with our COMPASS on Research Quality, you can start your journey toward more impactful research today. Once you have completed and submitted your assessment, you’ll receive a visual summary.
