VIRT2UE train-the-trainer program
What is this about?
The VIRT2UE Train-the-Trainer program provides participants with the knowledge and skills to conduct a research integrity course. Trainers are taught how to foster reflection on scientific virtues in researchers, and how to promote understanding of the European Code of Conduct for Research Integrity. This free training program will be offered at different locations across Europe.
As a train-the-trainer program, VIRT2UE supports trainers and provides them with adaptable exercises and tools that can be used in their own teaching.Why is this important?
The train-the-trainer program has an aspirational approach, and focuses on what it means to be a good and virtuous researcher. Instead of teaching about rules and norms, the training focuses primarily on promoting reflection on personal attitudes and behaviors. Participants learn how to train others to reflect on concrete cases and moral dilemmas in research, and to use tools that foster reflection in others. This will foster skills that enable trainees to integrate the European Code of Conduct in their day-to-day professional life.
