What is this about?

This short promotional video presents the upcoming Summer School on Responsible Research, aimed at introducing participants to key themes in research integrity and responsible research practices. The video highlights how the Summer School will cover topics such as research ethics, open science, stakeholder engagement, and integrity-driven research design. It sketches who it’s for early-career researchers, PhD candidates, and post-docs and emphasizes a multidisciplinary, international, and interactive format (workshops, peer discussions, case studies). There is a sense of urgency: as research becomes more complex and interconnected, the Summer School offers a unique opportunity to build a network, gain skills and adopt a culture of integrity from the outset of one’s career.

Why is this important?

The video is important because it draws attention to the need for structured education and community-building in responsible research. As research landscapes rapidly evolve with open data mandates, interdisciplinary teams, and higher public expectations early-career researchers often lack formal training in integrity, ethics and stakeholder trust. This Summer School model addresses that gap by offering dedicated space to learn, reflect and network in a supportive environment. Promoting responsible research at this stage helps prevent misconduct, fosters reproducibility, and ensures that research contributes positively to society. The video thus acts as a gateway to encourage participation and raise awareness of integrity-driven practice.

For whom is this important?
