Aim of the conference

The Embassy of Good Science is a wiki platform developed in the EnTIRE project, which was granted in the EU Horizon 2020 programme four years ago. We will present the platform and its relevance for Research Integrity in Europe and beyond during the final conference of the project, which will be held online on October 25th and 26th, 2021.

The conference will give due attention to new evolutions on major RI topics on the platform, including guidelines, cases, and training. We will showcase how the platform can be used to improve research integrity by different stakeholder groups through panel sessions on research integrity and ethics. We will also describe how we, as a consortium, will hand the platform over to the scientific community and go into the pivotal role which The Embassy is expected to play in making available results of EU projects in the future.

Research integrity scenario competition

To enrich The Embassy of Good Science’s collection of scenarios and encourage community ownership, we invite you to share your fictional research integrity scenarios on the Embassy. Complete submissions will be published on the Embassy website and candidates will receive a certificate for participation. The top two submissions will receive a cash prize to the value of €500 and will be offered the chance to present their scenario during the final conference.
