RI training The Austrian Agency for Research Integrity offers training for researchers in the form of workshops, lectures, and train-the-trainer programs. The training is not mandatory. The Agency delivers via their web page various documents regarding the promotion of research integrity (guidelines, reports, recommendations) that can be used for training. Moreover, the Agency participates in several EU projects related to research integrity ([https://eneri.eu/ ENERI], [https://cordis.europa.eu/project/id/787580 VIRT2UE] and [https://sops4ri.eu/ SOPs4RI]). It has created [https://oeawi.at/en/guidelines/ Guidelines for Good Scientific Practice]. Some universities in Austria have also created guidelines on good scientific practice: Medical University of Graz - [https://www.medunigraz.at/fileadmin/studieren/med_wissenschaft/pdf/GSP_Standards_engl.pdf Standards of Good Scientific Practice and Ombuds Committee], Graz University of Technology - [https://mibla-archiv.tugraz.at/16_17/Stk_22/RL_Sicherung_guter_wiss._Arbeit_englisch.pdf Guidelines on Safeguarding Good Scientific Practice], University of Vienna and Medical University of Vienna – [https://www.meduniwien.ac.at/web/fileadmin/content/forschung/pdf/MedUni_Wien_GSP-Richtlinien_2017.pdf Good Scientific Practice], University of Linz - [https://www.jku.at/fileadmin/gruppen/29/Dateien/SOP_8201_sicherung_gute_wiss_Praxis_EN.pdf Guidelines for Ensuring Good Scientific Practice], University of Klagenfurt - [https://www.aau.at/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Richtlinien-Gute-wissenschaftliche-Praxis.pdf Ombudsman Guidelines for Good Scientific Practice and Code of Conduct for Good Academic Practice]. Austrian Agency for Research Integrity participates in the ENRIO meetings and organises workshops and training session for research integrity '"`UNIQ--ref-00000704-QINU`"'. RI dialogue and communication The members of the Austrian Academy of Sciences are engaged in informing the general public of important scientific insights and they form committees to discuss questions which are important for the science and society '"`UNIQ--ref-00000705-QINU`"'. Usually, cases of research integrity are dealt with in confidence and decisions are not made public. Some cases of misconduct were reported in the press. There are several initiatives from projects on responsible research and innovation and science shops, “Wiener Vorlesungen” '"`UNIQ--ref-00000706-QINU`"'. The Austrian Science Fund (FWF) publishes statistics on suspected cases in an anonymous form, and is updated annually '"`UNIQ--ref-00000707-QINU`"''"`UNIQ--ref-00000708-QINU`"'. RI is discussed in the lay press occasionally. The cases that are discussed the most are related to research fraud. RI incentives Austria offers a number of incentives for research companies as well as for individual researchers in R&D. Whoever carries out research in Austria pays a lower tax. Funding Agencies work on the promotion of R&D by providing generous funding for research projects '"`UNIQ--ref-00000709-QINU`"'. There are also several awards for contributions in research or scholarships for young researchers in different research areas. Some universities also offer awards for research, e.g. [https://www.uibk.ac.at/portal/forschende/ University of Innsbruck]. {| class="wikitable sortable mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" | width="376" valign="top"|'''Initiatives''' | width="376" valign="top"|'''Scope''' |- | width="376" valign="top"|[https://oeawi.at/training-uebersicht/?lang=en Austrian agency for research integrity training] | width="376" valign="top"|Training |- | width="376" valign="top"|[https://www.aq.ac.at/en/ Agency for Quality Assurance and Accreditation Austria] | width="376" valign="top"|Accreditation |- | width="376" valign="top"|[https://m.fwf.ac.at/en/research-funding/fwf-programmes/wittgenstein-award/ The Wittgenstein Award] | width="376" valign="top"|Support |- | width="376" valign="top"|[https://unterlasslab.com/2017/06/21/start-prize-of-the-austrian-science-fund-fwf-awarded-to-miriam/ The START Prize] | width="376" valign="top"|Support |- | width="376" valign="top"|[https://www.oenb.at/en/About-Us/Research-Promotion/scholarships_and_awards/klaus_liebscher_economic_research_scholarship.html The Klaus Liebscher Scholarship] | width="376" valign="top"|Support |- | width="376" valign="top"|[https://www.oenb.at/en/About-Us/Research-Promotion/scholarships_and_awards.html The Olga Radzyner Award] | width="376" valign="top"|Support |- | width="376" valign="top"|[https://www.oenb.at/en/About-Us/Research-Promotion/scholarships_and_awards.html The Franz Weninger Award] | width="376" valign="top"|Support |} '"`UNIQ--references-0000070A-QINU`"'

RI training To become members of a local ethics committee, candidates must finish training course and obtain the certificate. Moreover, members of the Multi-Centre Ethics Committee have to complete basic training regarding legal provisions '"`UNIQ--ref-00000727-QINU`"'. There are also annual training courses organised by Bulgarian Drug Agency '"`UNIQ--ref-00000728-QINU`"'. Ethics committees organise seminars and training but there is no information regarding their frequency. RI dialogue and communication Bulgarian Academy of Sciences promotes open access policy through conferences and meetings '"`UNIQ--ref-00000729-QINU`"'. European Researcher’s Night is organised annually in different Bulgarian cities and aims to bring science closer to the general public. The event is composed of workshops and presentations to engage the general public in science by presenting scientific results and knowledge '"`UNIQ--ref-0000072A-QINU`"'. From its very first year (2011), Sofia Science Festival has attracted a large number of supporters. It is a space where there is no dividing line between culture and science. The Festival is a founding member of the Bulgarian Festivals Association '"`UNIQ--ref-0000072B-QINU`"'. Apart from that, online journal Nauka.bg presents science results, policies and instruments in cooperation between the Ministry of Education and Science and Science Forum Association '"`UNIQ--ref-0000072C-QINU`"'. Although some interest in academic integrity and plagiarism was apparent in Bulgaria, the low teacher and management response rates demonstrate a reluctance to discuss this topic. No evidence of specific research was found within the country about academic integrity or of people actively trying to bring about changes to improve practices nationally or locally '"`UNIQ--ref-0000072D-QINU`"'. There is a small group of social scientists in the field of Science and Technology Studies (Bulgarian academy of science) who started working on Science ethics, Responsible research and innovation; Research integrity in 2002. At present there is training for young researchers: “Ethics in Science and technology”, which has been implemented in universities and research institutes. The public perception of the role of RI in Bulgaria is low. This appears in many ways a more general problem in many European countries. However, interesting examples exist in which an all-party parliamentary consensus can be developed with both academia and business to secure widespread support for a major national effort on RI '"`UNIQ--ref-0000072E-QINU`"'. Occasionally research integrity is discussed in the press. RI incentives The National Evaluation and Accreditation Agency is responsible for evaluation, accreditation and monitoring of the quality in higher education institutions and research organizations with aim of assuring high academic standards '"`UNIQ--ref-0000072F-QINU`"'. There are also several annual rewards for researchers in different scientific disciplines. {| class="wikitable sortable mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" | width="376" valign="top"|'''Initiatives''' | width="376" valign="top"|'''Scope''' |- | width="376" valign="top"|[http://www.eurecnet.org/information/bulgaria.html Basic training for the members of the Ethics Committee for Multi-Centre trials on the legal instruments] | width="376" valign="top"|Training |- | width="376" valign="top"|[https://www.neaa.government.bg/en/home-en?catid=0 National Evaluation and Accreditation Agency] | width="376" valign="top"|Accreditation |- | width="376" valign="top"|[https://m.president.bg/en/cat195/Awards The John Atanasoff Award of the President of the Republic of Bulgaria] | width="376" valign="top"|Support |- | width="376" valign="top"|[https://www.mon.bg/bg/100466 Pythagoras Awards of the Bulgarian Ministry of Education and Science] | width="376" valign="top"|Support |- | width="376" valign="top"|[https://www.mon.bg/bg/100122 National Competition Young Talents of the Bulgarian Ministry of Education and Science] | width="376" valign="top"|Support |} '"`UNIQ--references-00000730-QINU`"'

RI training There is no mandate for RI training but some elements of RI are a part of higher education programmes, especially at doctoral programmes and at some research-oriented studies, such as psychology or sociology (e.g. there are subjects in curriculum such as “Ethics in psychological research and practice” or “Ethical issues in sociological research”). Also, there are initiatives to introduce RI into undergraduate education, in the form of elective courses '"`UNIQ--ref-00000747-QINU`"', and for PhD students, young researchers and experienced researchers as well, in the form of summer school programmes '"`UNIQ--ref-00000748-QINU`"'. Some institutions have an official RI Advisor for doctoral students '"`UNIQ--ref-00000749-QINU`"' and RI checklists for supervisors and doctoral students '"`UNIQ--ref-0000074A-QINU`"'. RI dialogue and communication The public perception of research integrity in Croatia and their trust in science is low. The system is perceived as corrupt '"`UNIQ--ref-0000074B-QINU`"'. The lay press occasionally discusses the research integrity and it is usually related to cases of research fraud and academic corruption. It is not known whether there are rewards for collaborative science and incentives for networks. There have been some efforts to increase the value of research to society and reduce wasteful research. One of the examples is the Science Festival – a manifestation that has been continuously organized in Croatia since 2003 with the aim of bringing science closer to the public through information on activities and results in science, improving public perception of scientists and motivating young people to research and acquire new knowledge '"`UNIQ--ref-0000074C-QINU`"'. Besides that, Croatian Scientific Portal is an attempt to consolidate information on Croatian scientists, their work and scientific projects with the goal to promote and popularize science in Croatia '"`UNIQ--ref-0000074D-QINU`"'.

The document “Overview and propositions of implementation of the charter” by Pierre Corvol was also presented in the press by the Minister of Higher Education and Research in 2016 (enrio creation of the French office for integrity in science). RI incentives The High Council for Evaluation of Research and Higher Education (Hcéres) is administrative authority responsible for the evaluation of higher education institutions and research institutes. There are numerous awards and prizes for researchers.

The National Forum on Research Integrity has put this training in place '"`UNIQ--ref-0000081D-QINU`"', initially for a three-year pilot which provided access to research integrity training for up to 15,000 researchers. The Forum has recently made arrangements to continue access to the training for a further three years (2021-2023), but now without limits on the number of researchers who can complete the training. The training has been fully updated to take into account the Irish context, and individual institutions can add details of their own policies and procedures if required. RI dialogue and communication Research integrity is discussed in the lay press. The print media has given coverage to research integrity in the past number of years, both the positive and the negative '"`UNIQ--ref-0000081E-QINU`"''"`UNIQ--ref-0000081F-QINU`"''"`UNIQ--ref-00000820-QINU`"'. In 2020, Science Foundation Ireland made a report “Science in Ireland Barometer”, an analysis of the Irish public’s perceptions and awareness of STEM in society. According to the report, majority of the Irish public showed high level of trust in “science” (89%) and “scientists” (81%). The public had the strongest level of trust in “medical health professionals” (87%) and “scientists” (84%) compared to other Irish professionals '"`UNIQ--ref-00000821-QINU`"'. RI incentives There are some programmes where researchers are encouraged to link their research with industry '"`UNIQ--ref-00000822-QINU`"''"`UNIQ--ref-00000823-QINU`"''"`UNIQ--ref-00000824-QINU`"''"`UNIQ--ref-00000825-QINU`"'.

RI training No consistent training for all academia in this regard is provided; however, research ethics/integrity is encouraged to be taught for all doctoral students due to amended national regulation on doctoral studies '"`UNIQ--ref-0000083E-QINU`"'. In addition to this, only a few initiatives are known. For example, Vilnius University offers General Competence Skills Training. The part of the training considers publication of scientific results and publication ethics as part of it '"`UNIQ--ref-0000083F-QINU`"'. There was also an annual international conference ‘Shaping Ethics in Academia and Society’, organised during the period of 2016-2018, that served as an open arena for informal education of academia '"`UNIQ--ref-00000840-QINU`"'. Furthermore, the Office of the Ombudsperson for Academic Ethics and Procedures annually delivers customized training. RI dialogue and communication The National Bioethics committee is responsible for coordination and methodological assistance to Hospital Ethics Committees and to Regional Biomedical Research Ethics Committees '"`UNIQ--ref-00000841-QINU`"'. The Committee organises annual meetings with regional ethics committees to discuss current issues regarding academic ethics and ethics in science in Lithuania '"`UNIQ--ref-00000842-QINU`"'. The Ombudsperson for Academic Ethics and Procedures organises twice per year a meeting with Committees of Academic Ethics to discuss their concerns and issues, e.g., while handling allegations within their higher education institutions, implementing the Office’s/Ombudsperson’s recommendations and guidelines '"`UNIQ--ref-00000843-QINU`"'. Trust in Lithuanian public institutions is low due to corruptive practices. However, there is no evidence how the public perceives research integrity and whether they (mis)trust in science '"`UNIQ--ref-00000844-QINU`"'. Nevertheless, academia’s knowledge on research ethics is yet to be developed '"`UNIQ--ref-00000845-QINU`"'. Within the period of 2013-2017, the news portal [http://www.delfi.lt/ www.delfi.lt] published around 40 press articles about ethical infringements. Regarding (self-)plagiarism, authorship, contract cheating, fraud and conflict of interest. RI incentives The Ministry of Education and Science has signed 15 agreements with Lithuanian associations, companies, various institutions and higher education institutions to support student internship model in companies and institutions. In order to encourage companies to employ (more) scientists, the Ministry of Higher Education and Science in 2010 allocated EUR 17.4 million to support employment in enterprises '"`UNIQ--ref-00000846-QINU`"'. Lithuania also offers Income Tax Relief for Investing in research and development '"`UNIQ--ref-00000847-QINU`"'.

RI training Training exists as separate actions usually regarding open access and open science '"`UNIQ--ref-0000088B-QINU`"'. Many of the state universities offer courses on Professional Ethics at the graduate level that are designed by the faculties themselves '"`UNIQ--ref-0000088C-QINU`"'. The main resource for RE+RI training/implementation is [https://allea.org/code-of-conduct/ European Code of Conduct for Research Integrity]. RI dialogue and communication The Academy of Sciences promotes collaboration among different research institutes and with different countries with bilateral and collaborative projects. This is done by the Centre for International Projects '"`UNIQ--ref-0000088D-QINU`"', previously a part of ASM, but now incorporated in the National Agency for Research and Development and responsible for implementing government policies in the fields of research and innovation. It also organizes the activities concerning participation in international research programmes '"`UNIQ--ref-0000088E-QINU`"'. The Night of European Researchers is organised by the Academy of Sciences incollaboration with other research institutions to promote science among the young population and encourage them to pursue a scientific career '"`UNIQ--ref-0000088F-QINU`"'. In November, the scientific community of the Republic of Moldova celebrates the Day of Science. This event is organized by the Ministry of Education, Culture and Research. Children and young people also participate in these events '"`UNIQ--ref-00000890-QINU`"'. Apart from that, the contest Science Slam serves as a platform for communication between people in science and innovation with the general public '"`UNIQ--ref-00000891-QINU`"'. The Ministry of Education, Culture and Research, in cooperation with the EUREKA International Association in 2018 organised EUREKA Info Day event. The EUREKA International Association is a platform for international cooperation in research, development, and innovation. The objective of the event is to inform the scientific community and the business environment of Moldova about the EUREKA cooperation framework, the activity of the program, how researchers and entrepreneurs can participate in the existing EUREKA actions, how to launch their own actions, and how to prepare and submit a successful project proposal '"`UNIQ--ref-00000892-QINU`"'. The Ministry of Education, Culture and Research, in collaboration with the European Cooperation in Science & Technology (COST) Association, organized the COST Info Day event in 2018 dedicated to the COST Information Day '"`UNIQ--ref-00000893-QINU`"'.

As far as many public scandals involve high position researchers, the public perception of science and its role-results is more negative and pessimist than positive. Some research integrity aspects are discussed in media. Usually regarding high position personalities in research '"`UNIQ--ref-00000895-QINU`"'. RI incentives The National Agency for Quality Assurance in Education and Research (NAQAER), established by the Government, implements state policies and contributes to the development oriented towards the best international standards in the areas of competence assigned: quality assessment in general, technical and higher professional education; external evaluation of continuous professional training programs; external evaluation of organizations in the fields of research and innovation; evaluation of the scientific and scientific-didactic staff and control over the quality of general, vocational and continuing education, compliance with the accreditation and authorization requirements of entities offering educational programs and services '"`UNIQ--ref-00000896-QINU`"'. Research integrity is not a part of institutional quality assessment at the research institutional level, but it is at the doctoral programs evaluation level. There are universities which have codes of academic integrity and this is part of their quality management. Also, the NAQAER elaborated a Guide to self-assessment report that includes performance criteria and indicators. One of them is the organization of the scientific research '"`UNIQ--ref-00000897-QINU`"'. The Government Excellence Scholarship and the Scholarship on scientific domains for PhD students who have achieved outstanding academic performance and actively participate in the social life of the institution are awarded annually by the Government of the Republic of Moldova '"`UNIQ--ref-00000898-QINU`"'.

RI training The Research Ethics Act of 2017 imposes the responsibility of the research institutions to provide training in research ethics '"`UNIQ--ref-000008B8-QINU`"'. FEK are not responsible for training as such. However, FEK has established several national initiatives related to training: - A Research Ethics library containing articles and cases (including on research integrity) - A yearly conference for teachers and people responsible for research integrity at the different institutions - The secretariat for the Committees takes part in a wide range of teaching activities at different institutions '"`UNIQ--ref-000008B9-QINU`"'. RI dialogue and communication NEM, NENT and NESH cooperate with GRU on the prevention of research misconduct, combining proactive teaching and advise on RE/RI with retroactive investigations of misconduct. NEK organises an annual two-day meeting for all its members. The aim of the meeting is professional replenishment and discussion '"`UNIQ--ref-000008BA-QINU`"'. It also organises open debate meetings on various research ethics topics '"`UNIQ--ref-000008BB-QINU`"'. REK organises one national conference per year for all members of all committees for networking purposes and for addressing issues of common interest. It also organises coordination meetings twice a year between the chairs of the committees and respective secretariats '"`UNIQ--ref-000008BC-QINU`"'. According to the University and Higher Education Act, all universities and HE-institutions have a “third mission”. In addition to teaching and research – communicating research to the public and society at large '"`UNIQ--ref-000008BD-QINU`"'. The Research Council of Norway promotes collaboration between research communities (18)'"`UNIQ--ref-000008BE-QINU`"'. It also promotes translation of research findings to society by awarding researchers with the Award for Excellence in Communication of Science. This award is assigned to researchers who demonstrated outstanding communication of their research results and they put the effort into promoting research and research knowledge to society '"`UNIQ--ref-000008BF-QINU`"'. The Norwegian Academy of Sciences and Letters usually organises 12 meetings, open for public, with topics covering the various academic fields '"`UNIQ--ref-000008C0-QINU`"'. The Norwegian public trust in science is high. According to a survey conducted by Response Analysis for the Norwegian Bar Association, about 85% of Norwegians say that they have great confidence in researchers '"`UNIQ--ref-000008C1-QINU`"'. Research integrity is often discussed in the lay press, usually about cases of research misconduct. There were also some publications regarding a national project named Research Integrity in Norway (RINO), which aimed to map the prevalence or research misconduct and questionable research practices in Norwegian universities, university colleges, and research institutes '"`UNIQ--ref-000008C2-QINU`"'. In addition to national media, many universities have their own independent press covering research, i.e. [https://khrono.no/ Khrono], [https://pahoyden.no/ På høyden], [https://www.uniforum.uio.no/ Uniforum] and [https://www.universitetsavisa.no/ Universitetsavisa]. Another platform is [https://forskning.no/ Forskning.no], initiated by the Norwegian Research Council in 2002. It is usually about cases of research misconduct. RI incentives The national funding system for research is partly based on performance-based incentives. This influences the research system as a whole. The Norwegian Research Council conducts national evaluations of disciplines and research fields, emphasizing quality, relevance and impact. This creates an awareness of different modes of communication, participation and impact. Institutions such as the Research Council of Norway and the Norwegian Academy of Sciences and Letters offer awards for research. There are also various incentives for collaboration of research and industry/business. Norwegian government promotes cooperation between national research and innovation and foreign companies, research institutions and scientists. The Research Council promotes cooperation between research and industry through various programmes and measures. An Industrial PhD programme was launched for enhancing cooperation and mobility between research and industry, increase research activity in the industry, and equip newly-educated researchers with knowledge of relevance to their company. The company receives a grant of 50% of the rates for doctoral fellowship for a period of three years or 37.5% of the rate for a period of 4 years with 75% research activity '"`UNIQ--ref-000008C3-QINU`"'. 22 Centres for Research-Based Innovation (SFI) are established to enhance cooperation between research enterprises and research groups '"`UNIQ--ref-000008C4-QINU`"'.

RI training There is no mandate for RI training but some universities and institutions have integrated a module about research integrity in their existing program about research ethics (Autonomous University of Madrid, University of Barcelona, University of Oviedo and National University of Distance Education). Several members of the CSIC Ethics Committee give lectures regarding research integrity and responsible conduct of research. Research Ethics and Research Integrity have been included as topics in the CSIC Management Training Course aimed to CSIC’s Directors and Managers '"`UNIQ--ref-000008E2-QINU`"'. RI dialogue and communication In a Knowledge Transfer study 2010-2012, Spain positioning is about average (56%). Spain is one of the countries with a low level of innovation and weak knowledge translation policies '"`UNIQ--ref-000008E3-QINU`"'. Research Results Transfer Offices, that are part of each university, aim to promote and facilitate cooperation in Research and Development activities between researchers and companies '"`UNIQ--ref-000008E4-QINU`"'. The academic system is perceived corrupt. Academic corruption survey of 5,725 people who studied in 11 European countries showed the highest levels of perceived corruption in Ukraine and Spain '"`UNIQ--ref-000008E5-QINU`"'. Since 2002, the percentage of the population understanding science and technology as bringing more benefits than harms keeps growing every year '"`UNIQ--ref-000008E6-QINU`"'. The research integrity s occasionally discussed in the lay press. The most relevant newspapers at the national level (EL Pais and El Mundo) published several articles about cases of scientific misconduct in Spain. RI incentives Spain provides Research and Development tax relief through a hybrid tax credit and social security contributions exemption for qualified research staff. Both of these incentives are mutually exclusive in their use except for innovative small and medium-sized enterprises '"`UNIQ--ref-000008E7-QINU`"'. {| class="wikitable sortable mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" | width="376" valign="top"|'''Initiatives''' | width="376" valign="top"|'''Scope''' |- | width="376" valign="top"|[https://www.csic.es/en/training-and-employment/training-research-personnel CSIC Management Training Course] | width="376" valign="top"|Training |- | width="376" valign="top"|[https://www.enac.es/web/english The National Accreditation Entity] | width="376" valign="top"|Accreditation |- | width="376" valign="top"|[https://www.ciencia.gob.es/portal/site/MICINN/menuitem.7eeac5cd345b4f34f09dfd1001432ea0/?vgnextoid=82957edcc0186610VgnVCM1000001d04140aRCRD&lang_choosen=en The National Research Award] | width="376" valign="top"|Support |} '"`UNIQ--references-000008E8-QINU`"'

RI training Some universities have special bodies that are responsible for the training and education in the field of ethics (e.g. at the University of Stockholm this is done by Ethics Council) '"`UNIQ--ref-00000900-QINU`"'. Also, the Swedish National Data Service organises seminars, workshops, conferences, discussion forums and training events on data management, open access and laws and regulations, while the National Quality Registers at the Swedish Association of Local Authorities and Regions, Regional Register Centres and related stakeholders organise courses and conferences on Swedish national quality registers from a healthcare and research perspective '"`UNIQ--ref-00000901-QINU`"'. The main resources for RE+RI training are: - [https://codex.uu.se/ CODEX – Rules and Guidelines for Research] - [https://www.vr.se/english/analysis/reports/our-reports/2017-08-31-good-research-practice.html Good Research Practice] by the Swedish Research Council - [https://www.vr.se/download/18.ad27632166e0b1efab37a3/1547123720849/h2020-ethics_code-of-conduct_en.pdf The European Code of Conduct for Research Integrity] RI dialogue and communication The HEI in Sweden are all tasked to share and communicate their science and knowledge to the community. Many HEI organises different festivals, conferences and/or activities as part of this task. This also provide transparency and openness. Two examples of such arrangements are: The International Science Festival in Gothenburg is one of the most popular science festivals in Europe and the only one of its kind in Sweden. The aim of the Science Festival is to communicate science to schools and the general public and provide a meeting place for the research community. The goal is to provide more knowledge and positive attitude to science and research, as well as to encourage people to engage in higher education studies '"`UNIQ--ref-00000902-QINU`"'. SciFest at the University of Uppsala organised for teachers, students, researchers and representatives from companies. The festival is composed as a three-day educational experience with interactive demonstrations, various activities, and shows. It aims to bring closer science and the general public '"`UNIQ--ref-00000903-QINU`"'. Research integrity is occasionally discussed in the lay press. It is mostly related to cases of research misconduct '"`UNIQ--ref-00000904-QINU`"''"`UNIQ--ref-00000905-QINU`"'. RI incentives Sweden offers awards and prizes to researchers. {| class="wikitable sortable mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" | width="531" valign="top"|'''Initiatives''' | width="220" valign="top"|'''Scope''' |- | width="531" valign="top"|[https://snd.gu.se/en/manage-data/training-resources Swedish National Data Service (BAS online training)] | width="220" valign="top"|Training |- | width="531" valign="top"|[https://snd.gu.se/en/manage-data/training-resources Swedish National Data Service and the Swedish School of Library and Information Science/University of Borås (Research Data: Access, Management, and Collaboration course)] | width="220" valign="top"|Training |- | width="531" valign="top"|[https://english.uka.se/ Swedish Higher Education Authority] | width="220" valign="top"|Accreditation |- | width="531" valign="top"|[https://www.nobelprize.org/ The Nobel Prize] | width="220" valign="top"|Support |- | width="531" valign="top"|[https://ki.se/en/about/the-lennart-nilsson-award The Lennart Nilsson Award] | width="220" valign="top"|Support |- | width="531" valign="top"|[https://www.sverigesungaakademi.se/en/733.html The L’Oréal-Unesco For Women in Science Sweden Prize] | width="220" valign="top"|Support |- | width="531" valign="top"|[https://www.sverigesungaakademi.se/en/758.html The Torsten Wiesel Midnight Sun Award] | width="220" valign="top"|Support |} '"`UNIQ--references-00000906-QINU`"'

RI dialogue and communication The Netherlands Research Integrity Network (NRIN) enables sharing of experiences, exchange of knowledge and materials, mutual learning and intervision for several audiences via closed and open meetings. Closed meetings are intended for confidential counsellors and ombudsmen, or for chairs of research integrity investigation committees, whereas open meetings include research conferences and education seminar.'"`UNIQ--ref-0000093E-QINU`"' In the Netherlands, different forms of communication take place concerning science knowledge. People can visit scientific museums like [https://www.nemosciencemuseum.nl/en/ NEMO] science museum in Amsterdam. There are scientific festivals to visit like the [https://opensciencefestival.nl/ Open science festival] in Amsterdam and also [https://mytuner-radio.com/podcast/country/top-netherlands/genre/best-science-medicine podcasts] about science are available. According to the results of 2012, 2015, 2018, and 2021 surveys on Dutch institutions, the public has the most trust in the scientific community. For example, the survey from 2021 showed that on a scale from 1 (absolutely no trust) to 10 (complete trust) the public trust in science was 7.4.'"`UNIQ--ref-0000093F-QINU`"' Research integrity is occasionally discussed in the lay press. This is usually related to cases of research fraud and academic corruption. RI incentives There are rewards for collaborative science and incentives for networks. Ethics assessment is regulated by statutory organisations which are authorised to formulate policies for all public research institutes. An overarching body of legislation consists of the four codes that have been established by the Association of Universities in the Netherlands (VSNU), which are the codes on personal data, scientific integrity, animal experiments, and good governance.'"`UNIQ--ref-00000940-QINU`"' {| class="wikitable" border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" | width="376" valign="top"|'''Initiatives''' | width="376" valign="top"|'''Scope''' |- | width="376" valign="top"|[https://www.amsterdamumc.org/en/research.htm Training courses for PhD students] | width="376" valign="top"|Training |- | width="376" valign="top"|[https://www.knaw.nl/nl/actueel/publicaties/standard-evaluation-protocol-2015-2021/@@download/pdf_file/SEP%202015-2021%20amended%20version%20sept%202016.pdf Standard Evaluation Protocol (SEP)] | width="376" valign="top"|Accreditation |- | width="376" valign="top"|[https://www.nwo.nl/en/spinoza-prize NWO Spinoza Prize] | width="376" valign="top"|Support |- | width="376" valign="top"|[https://www.nwo.nl/en/nwo-stevin-prize NWO Stevin Prize] | width="376" valign="top"|Support |} '"`UNIQ--references-00000941-QINU`"'
