This introductory micromodule explores the concept of Planetary Health as a framework linking human well-being with the state of natural systems. By the end of the module, participants should be able to:
*'''Explain''' how environmental degradation affects human health through the framework of planetary boundaries
*'''Identify''' the disproportionate effects of climate change on different populations.
*'''Reflect''' on the ethical implications of environmental injustices.
*'''Relate''' the concept of planetary health to research responsibilities. +

<span lang="EN-GB">This micromodule builds on the content of the fourth episode of “Earth to Research”, titled “Planetary Health (Part One): Expelling Shell”. This training activity helps learners critically reflect on the podcast’s insights and apply them to their own research practices, values, and ethical choices. By the end of this micromodule, learners should be able to:</span>

These instructions prepare you to experience the first (face to face) group sessions of the VIRT2UE blended learning program on research integrity. +
These instructions provide an overview of the readings and assignments introducing the concepts and issues addressed in the VIRT2UE training. +
The VIRT2UE project has developed videos introducing the concept of Research Integrity. These are available on [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_tr-rcbm3VwuL4jcpUZkDA The Embassy youtube channel.] +
After completing this module learners will be able to: a) Identify potential risks to human research participants within the context of citizen science, and b) Understand strategies to minimize risks to research participants when practising citizen science. +
Q
After completing this module learners will be able to understand the importance of the quality of data sets and research outputs and their responsible use in open science. +
R
After receiving your certificate, you will receive an invitation to register as a Research Integrity expert on the [https://eneri.eu/e-community/ ENERI] e-Community so you can be easily identified as a VIRT2UE trainer. +
These instructions provide you with information on how to prepare and experience the second (face to face) group session of the VIRT2UE training. +
This micromodule aims to raise awareness about '''sustainable and ethical field research practices''' that '''minimize harm to the environment, wildlife, and local communities'''. By the end of this micromodule, participants should be able to:
*'''Identify''' basic actions that should be taken to minimize footprints in ecological field research.
*'''Recognize''' strategies to reduce environmental impact during fieldwork.
*'''Reflect''' on how sustainable and ethical practices can be implemented in field research. +
'''The aim'''
To provide learners from different backgrounds and disciplines with an overview of the primary ethics and integrity issues in research
'''The learning outcomes'''
At the end of this module, learners will be able to:
#Explain the importance of ethics and integrity in research.
#Describe a range of ethics and integrity issues that can be associated with different types of research.
#Summarise the primary ethics issues raised by research with human participants.

This module provides an overview of interactive games on topics relating to '''research integrity''' and '''research ethics''', which can be used to deepen engagement with topics in the context of research ethics and integrity. +
The aim is to provide learners from different backgrounds and disciplines with an overview of how research ethics and integrity matters are governed, including the mechanisms and processes for ethics approval.
'''The learning outcomes'''
At the end of this module, learners will be able to:
#Explore the governance mechanisms for research ethics and integrity at different levels (like international, national, institutional).
#Identify and consider the research ethics and integrity codes and guidelines that are relevant to their own research.
#Describe the process of research ethics approval including when it is needed, from whom and what it entails. +
To encourage learners to consider the types of ethics issues that are associated with research in a global environment and how they might be addressed.
'''The learning outcomes'''
At the end of this module, learners will be able to:
# Discuss the specific ethics challenges associated with international collaborative research.
# Explain when benefit sharing is required and what constitutes fair benefit sharing.
# Distinguish between different types of ethics dumping and identify the causes.
# Explain the measures that can be taken to prevent ethics dumping. +
These video lectures can be used independently or in conjunction with the [[Guide:E525ee0d-0d7e-4ba5-b19b-89e4a5029b2f|ROSiE Responsible Open Science training materials]]. The ROSiE training materials examine a variety of topics from multiple disciplinary perspectives, including humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, health and life sciences, and citizen science. The video lectures provide a concise introduction to ethical issues in Open Science, which may be followed by engagement with training materials for further exploration of discipline-specific topics.
Each lecture is organised into multiple segments, focusing on a distinct topic. Upon completion of a segment, participants are expected to complete a quiz covering the material discussed. Additionally, certain lectures include case studies that provide an opportunity to reflect on how the concepts learned can be applied to practical ethical issues in Open Science.
Finally, if you want to get more information on a particular topic, there is a list of further reading for each lecture.

The goal of this course is that PhD candidates learn how and why supervision, mentoring and collaboration are key ingredients to support Responsible Conduct in Research (RCR). At the end of the course PhD candidates will be better prepared to recognize and constructively deal with challenges that they can face when collaborating with others during their PhD research. +
After completing this module learners will be able to: a) Comprehend the role of citizen science in identifying and addressing scientific problems and societal challenges, and b) Recognize the right of citizen scientists to be acknowledged by academic scientists and society. +
After completing this module learners will be able to: a) Understand the risks to the environment, plants, animals, and ecosystems in the context of citizen science and b) Understand how to minimize risks to the environment, plants, animals, and ecosystems when practising citizen science. +
This module presents a training activity which can be done with pariticipants to reflect on AI in Healthcare. +
S
The Data in responsible conduct of research course is designed to highlight which integrity issues can rise during a research project and to promote RCR. +
