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. +

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. +
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. +
By the end of this module, participants will be able:
* Explain why storytelling can improve the communication in research.
* Recognise the difference between narrative description and a story that includes change or tension.
* Identify the basic elements that structure a research story (situation, disruption, response, and outcome).
* Reflect on how storytelling choices can influence how audiences interpret research results. +
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. +
This micromodule supports researchers in critically reflecting on the broader impacts of their work on the environment, climate, and social justice. It encourages thoughtful and informed choices in defining research questions, selecting methods, and sharing knowledge. Rather than prescribing fixed rules, it offers guiding ideas and reflective prompts to inspire more responsible, ethical, and compassionate practices. Participants are invited to embrace the complexity of sustainability challenges, recognize the interconnectedness of systems, and consider long-term consequences.
The micromodule also encourages envisioning sustainable and inclusive futures, while empowering researchers to take practical, meaningful actions that align their work with societal priorities and contribute positively to both people and the planet.
'''By the end of this module, learners will be able to:'''
*Understand the environmental, social, and ethical impacts of research practices
*Reflect on how research choices influence sustainability outcomes
*Recognize the complexity and interconnected nature of sustainability challenges
*Identify opportunities to align research with societal and environmental priorities
*Apply practical strategies to make research more responsible and sustainable

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 +

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:
* '''Understand''' the rationale for an approach to research ethics that incorporates environmental ethics dimensions.
* '''Reflect''' on what it means to be an environmentally virtuous researcher in one’s own specific field.
* '''Relate''' environmental dimensions of research and innovation to various stages of professional practice and act accordingly. +
