The article argues that the scientific community must reflectively engage with scientific and research ethics. In addition to institutionalised rules and routine practices in the disciplines, this requires the earliest possible appropriation of the topic by students in the sense of a ‘key competence’. However, systematic integration as a training content is not recognisable for the disciplines as a whole. The challenges facing the inclusion of the subject in university teaching are described. This is contrasted with didactic modules as a potential for systematic anchoring in curricula. Finally, the paper proposes measures to promote this.
