1. Introduction 1.1. General Principles CORE MULTI-ANNUAL THEMATIC RESEARCH PROGRAMME The research activities under the CORE programme should fulfil the following general principles: • Research activities should respect fundamental ethical principles, including those which are reflected in the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union. If necessary, the approval of the Comité National d’Éthique de Recherche (CNER) and/or the Commission Nationale de la Protection des Données (CNPD) need to be sought prior to the launch of the project. In case the project has ethical implications, it is mandatory to join a plan explaining how these implications will be dealt with in the proposal. • In the implementation of the research activities, adequate attention needs to be paid to gender mainstreaming, as well as to, inter alia, working conditions, transparency of recruitment processes, and career development as regards the researchers recruited on CORE projects. In this matter, the European Charter for Researchers and the Code of Conduct for the Recruitment of Researchers offer a reference framework. • The FNR attaches great importance to the dissemination of research results. The dissemination and transfer of knowledge is a key added-value of research actions and measures need to be taken to increase the use and impact of results by industry, policy makers and society. The FNR expects results to be published in peer-reviewed publications 1 . Nevertheless, the FNR also greatly encourages the protection and the economic exploitation of research results when it is possible. Besides, the FNR also encourages the dissemination of research towards the general public and the media. Dissemination will be considered an integral task under all thematic priorities. Financial support from FNR must be acknowledged in all publications and other forms of media communication, including media appearances, press releases and conferences. • Research misconduct, e.g. provision of false information, plagiarism or falsification of data, may result in a rejection of the proposal. The FNR reserves the right to pursue further steps according to the ‘Research Integrity Guidelines’. Applicants must comply with the ‘FNR Research Integrity Guidelines’ accessible under: http://www.fnr.lu/en/Calls, Forms & Guidelines/General Guidelines 1 The FNR considers the following as peer-reviewed publications: • A publication in a journal of the list of journals with impact factors published yearly by ISI Thompson, • A publication in the journal index established by SCOPUS, or • A monograph with a review board.
