International collaborations are now arguably the norm, ‘open’ research is driving particular behaviours and is more frequently an expectation from funders of research, and a generation of new researchers who grew up with the power of the internet and big data is entering the research workforce. As a result, the way we influence or foster research cultures towards responsible conduct and research integrity is also changing.
More information about the NRIN Symposium on Research Integrity is to be published at: https://www.nrin.nl/component/eventbooking/intern/nrin-symposium-research-on-research-integrity.
Over the last years, the question of academic integrity became one of the most important issues in higher education, as variousforms of academic misconduct and non-ethical behavior become more visible and more frequent. We are nowadays witnessingthetypes of academic misconduct whichare not easilyunderstandablefrom bothrational and ethical pointsof view, such asresearchers publishing false data, forging results, plagiarizing or self-plagiarizing, etc. Similarly, number ofstudents are cheating during the exams andshowing wide array of non-ethical behaviors. These and many other aspectsof the academic “non-integrity”(in science and in education) are of particular interest for theinternational scientific community, which acknowledged this as the increasinglyrelevant and internationally recognized problem.

The Research Forum Conference 2020 will focus on public’s participation in science and the public’s trust in science. Citizens need to understand the major questions of science and technology in the contemporary world, because it is in the present that decisions are made, for shaping impact in the future. Solidarity, between present and future, is therefore critically dependent on the full exercise of citizenship, and ensuring that science is trusted. Therefore we have to go beyond the deficit model and engage in meaningful dialogue, not a monologue from science to society to ensure solidarity.
The ENRIO 2020 Congress on Research Integrity Practice opens a new European congress series that brings experts together to critically explore and develop research integrity practices. The aim is to work towards increasingly responsible European research culture.

The COMET conference aims to bring together scholars from different disciplinary backgrounds involving various healthcare specialties and the human and social sciences. A special emphasis is on the dissemination of ongoing research in language/discourse/communication studies in relation to healthcare education, patient participation and professional ethics.
The World Education Research Association Focal Meeting 2020 seeks to feature research that includes more than one country or is comparative, cross-cultural, international, or transnational in conceptualization, scope, or design.
The central theme of the conference is “Solidarity, Peace and Social Justice”. Together, these three concepts represent our aspirations for approaches to global development that address inequality, poverty and political marginalisation, also in connection with climate change and other environmental threats. Solidarity is essential for any process of social change. Based on mutually shared interests and human values, solidarity can be extremely powerful yet can also be easily undermined in an era of fake news and (electronically) manipulated elections. Peace and social justice are similarly important values in (as well as aspired outcomes of) struggles or transformation processes in which solidarity is key.
This meeting is the largest and most comprehensive European event dedicated to doctoral education, the previous edition gathering more than 200 participants.

Academic Integrity is the foundation on which all of academia stands. It is in schools, classrooms, in corridors and canteens that students, the future citizens of the world, gather an understanding of what is right and what is wrong, what is meant by integrity, being truthful, responsible, and respectful. It is here that they develop honesty and fairness and take those values into the real world and as members of the greater community, practicing these skills in their everyday lives and at their workplaces.
The European Science Engagement Conference annually unites an international community of science communication and public engagement professionals.

Pre-university education in Europe is facing serious challenges, for instance regarding the recruitment of teachers for STEM subjects and languages. The LERU paper on Teacher Training, identifies contributions that universities can make to address these challenges. The paper’s focus is on initiatives that universities can take of their own accord to make Initial Teacher Training and Continuing Professional Development for teachers more attractive and that can help to improve the prestige of a career in pre-university teaching.
The conference theme – “Sharing strategies for Research Improvement” – for us represents an ambition to move beyond the articulation and description of problems, to instead provide greater focus on possible solutions; their development, testing, evaluation and dissemination. We will consider challenges and opportunities for improvement from the perspective of Ethics Committees and Regulators, Publishers, Institutions and Researchers, and Funders; and will have themes running through the conference on new methods for measuring and testing interventions. By involving communities beyond biomedical research we hope to broaden the discussion, that we can learn from each others‘ experience.
The HUMAINT winter school is conceived as an interdisciplinary course about the impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems on human behaviour. After a successful first event, this year edition focuses on the topic of fairness and accountability in AI and it is taking place one week before the ACM Conference on Fairness, Accountability, and Transparency (ACM FAT*), a computer science conference with a cross-disciplinary focus that brings together researchers and practitioners interested in fairness, accountability, and transparency in socio-technical systems.
Inclusiveness and affirmative action, Promoting the academic and research ethics, Promoting individual right of learning, growth, opportunity and privacy, Compliance with higher standards of research ethics
Path2Integrity is co-organizing a congress on “The Fourth Industrial Revolution and its ethical impacts”.
During two days we will be discussing the following three pillars:
- Ethical impacts of: 4IR, AI, robots, regtech, fintech, internet of things, smart cities, 5G, ciber violence against women and girls, etc.
- Companies/startups: what are they doing in order to change, adapt, and not lose the ethical track? Why are there so few women who found and own start-ups? Why do women not get VC? What about the financing.
- Education: how do we educate our small ones and ourselves to navigate safely through all these changes?
For the third pillar, important representatives of Path2Integrity will be raising awareness about our project, they will call for participants for our workshops on teaching research integrity and they will also talk about best practise.
As the congress is co-organized by the European Women Lawyers Association based in Brussels and with EU Transparency Register ID: 730379225729-59, we have also invited the new President-elect Ursula von der Leyen and the Commissioners Vera Jourova and Mariya Gabriel as well as the president of European Economic and Social Committee Luca Jahier. Other speakers will be Gabriela Ramos (OECD Sherpa to G20), delegates from Women20 (W20, subgroup of G20), alumni of Global Leadership Academy implemented by GIZ, members of INGO Council of Europe, representatives of civil society, academia, public institutions, businesses, all stakeholders that are interested in 4IR and Ethics. We are supported by the Spanish Government and we hope that the Minister of Science and Universities, Pedro Duque, can attend our congress.
This congress is very important for Path2Integrity, as for the first time, we will present our project to a very broad audience in EU.
Our intention is to blaze the trail for our own congress on 26/27 February 2021 (also in Madrid) and our workshops for teaching research integrity. As we see Path2Integrity as THE network for teachers/professionals who teach/want to teach research integrity, the November 2019 congress is a great opportunity to spread the word and to call up the curiosity and demand for the excellency of our project and the handbook.
