VIRT2UE Training Guide
The VIRT2UE Train the Trainer program addresses researchers and educators from different disciplines who want to become trainers in Research Integrity. The training takes a virtue-based approach and supports participants in reflecting on their understanding of, and own positions towards research integrity. In line with this, a strong focus is put on fostering reflecting on personal cases and experiences with the intention of building strong connections between theory and practice.
By taking part in this training trainees will: develop a predisposition to cultivate virtues, and know how to act upon those virtues in concrete situations; learn how to relate the principles outlined in the European Code of Conduct for Research Integrity to a specific research integrity case; develop knowledge and skills to apply exercises that help researchers to cultivate scientific virtues to specific cases and dilemmas; and develop didactical competences necessary to organize and implement a VIRT2UE training.

Start with the online course
Instruction
This series of eLearning modules provides an introduction to the main principles of research integrity, describes the guidance outlined in the European Code of Conduct for Research Integrity (ECoC), and asks you to apply the ECoC to your own context.
Instruction
This series of eLearning modules provides an introduction to virtue ethics, and highlights the relevance of virtue ethics for research integrity. Learners are invited to self-assess newly gained knowledge, relate and apply the concepts in reflexive exercises, or reflect on the relevance of these concepts for their daily research practice by drawing upon their prior experience.
Instruction
This series of eLearning modules fosters reflection on the current research culture and conditions that undermine values inherent in the scientific endeavour and make it more likely that researchers develop some vices.
Instruction
This series of eLearning modules highlights the relevance of supervision, mentoring, and role-modeling in research environments and provides definitions of roles and their corresponding responsibilities.
Individual assignments in preparation for the first (face to face) group session
Instruction
These instructions provide an overview of the readings and assignments introducing the concepts and issues addressed in the VIRT2UE training.
Instruction
The VIRT2UE project has developed videos introducing the concept of Research Integrity. These are available on The Embassy youtube channel.
First (face to face) group sessions
Instruction
These instructions prepare you to experience the first (face to face) group sessions of the VIRT2UE blended learning program on research integrity.
The exercises
Instruction
This exercise helps participants to identify the features of, and differences between, debate and dialogue. Participants become aware of the strengths of dialogue as a tool for reflection processes.
Instruction
This exercise helps participants to develop approaches for implementing virtues in real life dilemmas by relating virtues to norms of action. Participants reflect on a real research integrity dilemma from different perspectives by means of dialogue.
Instruction
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.
Instruction
This exercise supports participants in identifying research integrity principles, virtues and questionable research practices in a hypothetical case. It provides a framework to consider, choose and defend alternative courses of action regarding realistic research integrity dilemmas.
Instruction
This exercise fosters reflection on the concept of goodness and how it applies in the context of research.
Practicing the exercises in your institution/context
Instruction
These instructions provide information on how to organize the work in between (face to face) group sessions.
