The goal in training students and PhD candidates in RE/RI is to support ever-deepening understanding of ethical principles and practices in research. This includes exploring aspects of honesty, transparency, objectivity and accountability at all stages of the research process, from conception to dissemination of results. The goal is to equip students with the knowledge and skills to conduct research responsibly, avoid misconduct such as plagiarism or falsification, comply with relevant regulations and guidelines, and uphold the integrity of the scientific community.
Although these examples can be used to train students and PhD candidates, they can be used in training more senior profiles to brush up competencies on the topic.
Resources for PhD candidates include (please see the last section of the BEYOND trainer guide for an overview of materials divided by topics and target groups):

For instance, to measure participants’ reactions during or right after the training, Self-Reflection Form can be used. In addition, if learners worked in groups so their group discussions can be monitored, and if they provided a group-report, the learning process can be evaluated based on the SOLO taxonomy to measure the levels of understanding. Moreover, if possible, a couple of months after the training an additional case study could be given to the same learners, and the content of their analysis could again be evaluated with the SOLO taxonomy. With this target group the domain-specific and domain-transcending measure could be implemented. This kind of effectiveness measure would give a possibility to triangulate the measurement in different time points.
Examples for implementation can be found here: [https://helsinkifi.sharepoint.com/:p:/r/sites/BEYONDHelsinkiteam/Shared%20Documents/ENERI%20CR%20material%20example%20for%20ECRs.pptx?d=w10c8dc6f452042fdae8775faf52ca081&csf=1&web=1&e=NAqYpk ENERI CR material example for ECRs.pptx]
'"`UNIQ--nowiki-00000027-QINU`"' The Self-Reflection Form link enables the facilitator to make a copy of the form, which they can then edit, and the data will accumulate on the facilitator’s cloud service (Google or Microsoft).

Look at slide 8-12 (in step 1) and ask participants to go over the REI leadership principles and take a role of a REI leader.
After having explained what the activity is about you may ask the participants to turn to the posters and work independently. Or you can go over the case analysis as a group following tasks on the slides (both slides and posters include same tasks). The tasks involve: Read the case. The case has a mentor-mentee situation and a dilemma for the leader/supervisor to deal with.
*Identify the ethical principles that may be at stake in this case.
*Use the ethical analysis to solve the situation described in the case.
*Analyse which ethical approaches the possible courses of action follow.
*Reflect back at the REI leadership framework – the group should discuss which REI leadership principles would contribute to solving this case and reflect if they displayed any of the principles. +
In this lecture, François Jost discusses the responsibilities of professional scientists towards citizen scientists. The first segment of the lecture covers the importance of recognising citizen scientists as partners, promoting inclusivity, and providing them with training. The second segment emphasises the need for open communication and transparency, open data management, and acknowledging the contributions and application of the citizen science approach.

Provide contact information in case of questions or if doubts arise during the practice time in between the participatory sessions.
Set a deadline and give instructions for the submission of the self-reflection forms. This should be at least one week prior to the follow up participatory session. +
The overall goal of the first session is to introduce the five exercises which represent the face-to-face/participatory part of the blended learning training and to prepare trainees to practice facilitating the exercises themselves. When planning the first session you:
a. Plan enough time per exercise (minimum 2 h).
As a trainer, you will first facilitate the exercises and let the trainees experience them. Then you will describe and explain the knowledge and competencies needed to facilitate the exercise as a trainer. Make time for pauses between the exercises for trainees to relax and reflect. Depending on the time schedule, it may also be necessary to provide food and drinks (or directions to restaurants or stores nearby).
b. Provide time to explain what trainees are expected to do in between the first and the follow up participatory sessions . You might consider providing opportunities to collectively reflect on how to plan their training practice and whether it would be necessary to adapt the exercises based on the characteristics of the group of participants they will train in their own work setting +
Get in touch with your trainer and submit your self-reflection forms. Share questions or issues you might want to address during the second face-to-face session with your trainer. For example: what facilitated your participants’ learning or what impeded it? What might be done differently in any subsequent moment of facilitation and what to keep unchanged? +
Remind participants of the overall goals of the training and ask them to reflect on the specific goals of the exercises and their contribution to the overall goals. +
Now, start a debate between both groups. Ask them to convince the other team to support their movie character (Dr. Jim Curran or Dr. Don Francis).
Stop the discussion after a couple of minutes for some reflection:
1. How did the participants feel about the conversation? What was the atmosphere like?
2. If some participants were assigned to be observers, they rst describe what they saw happening.
3. Make notes on a black- or whiteboard or flip-over about the characteristics of the discussion (e.g. competitive, interruptions, raising voices). +
Varieties of goodness in research - a rotary style exercise (variation to original VIRT2UE exercise)) +
The group is divide in subgroups of 3-5 participants. The groups each pick a different Variety of Goodness that they will start working on. In case there are more Varieties of Goodness than subgroups, the trainer decides together with the participants which Varieties of Goodness will be used. The difficulty of grasping the concept or the similarities between varieties may be taken into account. +
This module suggests a contextualized reading of the European Code of Conduct for Research Integrity (ECoC) using five selected recommendations for Good Research Practices mentioned in the document. The exercise is to identify breaches for each of the norms in the learner’s respective field(s) of research. This way, you are not only invited to reflect on the relevance of the ECoC for your research, you may also detect any breaches of research integrity better in the future.

This module explores, whether the experience of cognitive dissonance or moral distress may pose a possible necessity to translate the distress into eustress, that is, into a positive incentive to cultivate virtues. The relevance of five virtues is further explained with a hypothetical situation, in which a researcher is confronted with clear evidence that undermines the theory he/she has been working on (and building his/her academic self-concept around).

The fourth step aims to foster a clear understanding of the situation so that participants can ‘put themselves in the shoes’ of the case presenter. Clarification aims to (re)construct as clearly as possible the situation presented by the case presenter in order to investigate the moral dilemma.
