VIRT2UE final conference

VIRT2UE: A European Train-the-Trainer Programme for Teaching Research Integrity Final Conference

November 23rd 2021 – 13:30-17:00 (CET)

The VIRT2UE train the trainer programme, developed as part of the H2020 funded VIRT2UE project, provides trainers with the knowledge and skills to conduct a research integrity course from a virtue ethics perspective. Over 400 trainers across Europe who have participated in the blended learning programme have learnt how to stimulate researchers to reflect on the relevance of virtues for research practice, and to develop moral character. The final conference of the VIRT2UE project highlights the development of the programme, the implementation across Europe and beyond, the experiences of trainees and researchers, and discusses the future of the approach. We hope you will join us to learn more about VIRT2UE and how you can benefit from the programme in your own institution or research practice.
