The Integrity in academic publication: authorship and peer review course aims to stimulate PhD candidates to become aware of relevant issues in their academic publishing practice and ways to approach them. During this course PhD candidates will reflect on ways to be good authors and fair reviewers. +
The RCR through supervision and mentoring course is designed to stimulate supervisors to become aware of which issues are relevant in supervising and mentoring. More specifically, mentors will get a chance to reflect on research integrity within their own research practice. +
This module gives an overview of '''tools and resources''' that can be used to '''tailor''' your research integrity training to your audience and '''measure its effectiveness'''. +
This exercise fosters reflection on the concept of goodness and how it applies in the context of research. +

'''The aim'''
To encourage learners to consider how and why matters of social justice, vulnerability and inclusion are relevant to research and the impacts of research.
'''The learning outcomes'''
At the end of this module, learners will be able to:
#Consider the meaning and relevance of social justice in research.
#Explain the importance of inclusion in research and the ethics issues associated with exclusion.
#Describe the special measures that need to be implemented for the ethical inclusion of vulnerable populations in research. +
The PREPARED training clips can be used to foster reflection on key ethics and integrity issues which should be taken into account when conducting research in crisis situations. +
This resource helps supervisors to foster a strong culture of research integrity.
By the end of this activity participants will:
*understand what are the elements contributing to a culture of integrity in research communities
*be aware of both the implicit and explicit ways in which supervisors and mentors influence the learning processes of their supervisees/mentees and others working in the research community
*understand the role of and possess a command of practices that supervisors and mentors employ in establishing a culture of integrity
*develop and display competencies in ethical decision-making
*adopt the role of REI leader and display REI leadership competencies. +

Research ethics and integrity challenges during pandemics are not unique, but they are vastly magnified during crises. The PREPARED Code for researchers, research ethics committees and research integrity offices applies throughout a pandemic. The code was developed by an international consortium and is based on research undertaken in English, Chinese, French, German, Hindi, Japanese, Korean, Russian and Spanish. It was refined through a human rights analysis and extensive consultation with stakeholders. Input from marginalized populations was obtained at every stage.
THE PREPARED CODE:
*Respects the Declaration of Helsinki as the primary source of research ethics guidance during pandemics.
*Provides support across all research disciplines.
*Presents concise statements in clear language to encourage access.
*Combines guidance on research ethics and integrity.
*Complements the TRUST Code and the European Code of Conduct for Research Integrity, because the risks of inequitable research and breaches of research integrity can increase during a crisis.
*Links each guidance article to the values of fairness, respect, care and honesty.
VISION: Pandemic research should be trustworthy and the results accessible to all +
This module provides a state-of-the art overview of '''methods''' and '''approaches''' to teaching, which according to extant research, are appropriate to support learning in the context of research ethics and integrity. +
This micromodule introduces learners to the often-overlooked environmental impacts of technology, from data centers and energy use to e-waste and rare earth mining. It presents two strategies for making technology more sustainable — by using technology to address environmental challenges (greening by technology), and by redesigning technology itself to reduce its environmental impact (greening of technology). Learners are then introduced to concrete principles for sustainable tech design and encouraged to reflect on how these concepts apply to their own field of research or practice. By the end of this micromodule, participants will be able to:
*'''Identify''' key environmental and climate impacts associated with technology.
*'''Distinguish''' between “greening by technology” and “greening of technology.”
*'''Apply''' practical design principles for more sustainable technology.
*'''Reflect''' on how sustainability considerations apply to their own research or innovation practices.
*'''Evaluate''' the ethical and social implications of sustainable technology choices +
The Embassy of Good Science offers to the community the first issue of the newsletter in July 2021. Here you will find the most relevant news and announcements. Concretely, the first newsletter highlights the initiatives of VIRT<sup>2</sup>UE trainers from Latvia, Ireland and the UK. Their experiences related and initiatives related to the Train-the-Trainer program are available below.

This micromodule outlines how environmental and climate ethical considerations play a role in the different stages of research and innovation projects. By the end of the micromodule, participants will be able to:
1. Understand the rationale for an approach to research ethics that incorporates environmental ethics dimensions.
2. Reflect on what it means to be an environmentally virtuous researcher in one’s own specific field.
3. Relate environmental dimensions of research and innovation to various stages of professional practice and act accordingly. +
''Can you be too honest?'' This exercise helps to develop moral sensitivity with respect to basic virtues related to research integrity. In particular, it fosters reflection on the inherent moral ambiguity of specific virtues and how this ambiguity looks like in real-life research practice. +
The "PREPARED Seesaw" is an online interactive pandemic ethics initiative. The aim of the activity is to enable the public to experience the difficulty of making decisions pertaining to pandemic ethics. +
This micromodule focuses on AI’s environmental impact. From energy-hungry data centers to e-waste and water use, this micromodule explores AI’s footprint and what people can do about it. Participants will explore both the opportunities and risks of AI in the environmental context and begin to imagine what a more sustainable AI future could look like. By the end of this micromodule, participants will be able to:
*'''Identify''' key environmental impacts of AI technologies
*'''Explain''' how AI’s infrastructure contributes to climate and environmental pressures
*'''Reflect''' on trade-offs and future governance needs regarding AI deployment +
Learn about the Structure of Observed Learning Outcomes (SOLO) taxonomy (Biggs & Collins, 1982) and its derived instruments (ECAG (Ethical Case Assessment Grid) and EASM (Ethical Awareness and Sensitivity Meter)) and how they can be used to evaluate understanding and ethical sensitivity in the context of Research Ethics and Integrity (REI) teaching, learning, and assessment. +
This module introduces different '''trainings''' on '''research ethics''' and '''research integrity''' developed by EU funded initiatives for a range of different target groups and topics. +
<span lang="EN-US">This micromodule builds on the content of the first episode of Earth to Research, ) to explore what it means to do transformative research in times of ecological and social crisis. By the end of this micromodule, researchers will be able to:</span>
* <span lang="EN-US">'''Explain the concept of transformative research'''—including how research can contribute not only to knowledge production but to societal change.</span>
* <span lang="EN-US">'''Describe''' the PePe framework (Pluralizing, Empowering, Politicizing, Embedding) and its relevance for advancing more just and impactful research practices.</span>
* '''<span lang="EN-US">Apply</span>''' the PEPE <span lang="EN-US">framework to their own research practices and systems.</span>
* '''Critically evaluate''' their role as researchers, including ethical responsibilities, boundary work, and potential influence on change. +
