    Conflict of Interest: A clash of personal or private interests with professional activities can lead to a potential conflict of interest, in diverse activities such as teaching, research, publication, working on committees, research funding and consultancy. It is necessary to protect actual professional independence, objectivity and commitment, and also to avoid the appearance of any impropriety arising from conflicts of interest.


    Conflict of interest is not restricted to personal financial gain; it extends to a large gamut of professional academic activities including peer reviewing, serving on various committees, which may, for example, oversee funding or give recognition, as well as influencing public policy.

    To promote transparency and enhance credibility, potential conflicts of interest must be disclosed in writing to appropriate
    authorities, so that a considered decision can be made on a case-by-case basis. Some additional information is available also in the section below dealing with resources.
