Netherlands Code of Conduct for Research Integrity (2018), vsnu, Netherlands Association of Universities of Applied Sciences, De samenwerken organisaties in toegepast onderzoek, NFU, KNAW + (<article><article><article& … <article><article><article><div><div><div><div><div><div></br>The Netherlands Code of Conduct for Research Integrity (2018), developed by VSNU, the Netherlands Association of Universities of Applied Sciences, the Samenwerkende Organisaties in Toegepast Onderzoek, NFU, and KNAW, provides a national framework that aligns Dutch research practice with international standards such as the Singapore and Montreal Statements. Grounded in the values of honesty, accountability, professional courtesy, and stewardship, it outlines responsibilities for researchers, supervisors, institutions, funders, and journals across the full research cycle, from planning and conducting studies to publishing and reviewing. The Code sets expectations for clear authorship, proper acknowledgement, conflict-of-interest management, transparency of methods and data, fair peer review, and responsible supervision, while also establishing procedures for addressing breaches of integrity with due process, proportional sanctions, and learning opportunities. It embeds integrity in contemporary research through education and training, data management, digital tools, and open science, ensuring integrity is treated as a core skill rather than assumed knowledge. Equity, diversity, and inclusivity are integrated as essential to responsible research environments. Serving both as a policy benchmark and a practical handbook, the Code supports researchers, institutions, and policymakers in safeguarding credibility, reproducibility, and societal trust in Dutch research.</br></div></div></div></div><div></div><div><div></div></div></div></div></article><div></div><div><div><div><div><div><div><article><div><div></br><div></div><div><div></div></div></div></div></article><div></div></div></div></div></div><div></div><div><div></div></div></div></div></article><div></div><div><div><div><div><div><div></br></div></div></div></div><div></div><div><div></div></div></div></div></article><div></div>;div></div></div></div></div></article><div></div></div></div></div></div><div></div><div><div></div></div></div></div></article><div></div><div><div><div><div><div><div> </div></div></div></div><div></div><div><div></div></div></div></div></article><div></div>)

The policy applies across output types (e.g., journal articles, books and chapters) for projects funded under guidelines released since 1 January 2013. Where immediate open access is not possible due to legal or contractual constraints, researchers must justify non‑compliance in final reporting. The policy page consolidates the current version and directs readers to related guidance on research data and integrity, tying open access to national evaluation exercises (e.g., ERA) and sector‑wide dissemination norms. It positions open access as a public benefit mandate, aiming to maximise the reach and utility of publicly funded research.</br></div><div><div><div><div></div><div><div><div><div></div></div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div><div><div><div><div></div><div></div><div></div></div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>iv><div><div><div></div><div></div><div></div></div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>)

It requires open access to publications (via repositories or open journals), encourages Creative Commons licensing, persistent identifiers, and FAIR data practices. Researchers, institutions, funders, and publishers all have clear responsibilities: planning for openness from the start, retaining rights, acknowledging funding, and supporting repositories and infrastructure. Exceptions for sensitive or commercial data are allowed but must be justified transparently. The policy ties openness to research quality, reproducibility, equity, and global alignment (e.g., Plan S, EOSC). Monitoring focuses on the quality of openness—metadata, licensing, transparency—rather than just publication counts. Equity and responsible openness are emphasized, with safeguards for ethics, privacy, and inclusion. Overall, it provides practical, coherent guidance for Austrian stakeholders to comply with and benefit from open science.</br></div><div><div><div><div></div><div><div><div><div></div></div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div><div><div><div><div></div><div></div><div></div></div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>iv><div><div><div></div><div></div><div></div></div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>)

Limited embargoes or exceptions for sensitive or commercial data must be justified transparently. The policy promotes infrastructures like repositories and registries, aligns with international open science efforts, and emphasizes the quality of openness—metadata, reproducibility, and accessibility—over publication counts. Equity and inclusion are treated as cross-cutting themes, with attention to minimizing author costs, supporting repository-based routes, and providing multilingual communication.

In other sectors, digital twins may model human behavior for training, workforce optimization, or personalized consumer experiences.</div><div>However, as this technology advances, it raises profound ethical questions.

Taken together, these interlocking processes constitute a Human Rights, Democracy and the Rule of Law Assurance Framework (HUDERAF). The HUDERAF combines the procedural requirements for principles-based human rights due diligence with the governance mechanisms needed to set up technical and socio-technical guardrails for responsible and trustworthy AI innovation practices. Its purpose is to provide an accessible and user-friendly set of mechanisms for facilitating compliance with a binding legal framework on artificial intelligence, based on the Council of Europe's standards on human rights, democracy, and the rule of law, and to ensure that AI innovation projects are carried out with appropriate levels of public accountability, transparency, and democratic governance.</div><div></div>ncy, and democratic governance.</div><div></div>)
