Laboratories play a pivotal role in advancing science. However, they’re also significant sources of plastic waste, thereby contributing heavily to global plastic pollution. In 2015, a study estimated the amount of plastic waste produced in bioscience labs worldwide at 5.5 million tons. Given the essential role of plastic products in wet-lab research, avoiding their use altogether may not be a practical option. Alternatively, plastic used in the lab can be recycled. This micromodule explores practical actions for reducing, managing, and recycling plastic waste in research environments. Whether you are a student, researcher or lab technician, you will gain actionable insights to make your workspace cleaner, greener, and more sustainable.

In humans, gene therapy via gene editing is a rapidly growing field of research with many potential benefits for health and wellbeing. It involves the editing of genes to modify or knock out specific genes to achieve desired traits, to correct genetic defects, to treat or prevent disease, or to enhance cellular functions.
In this module we consider an example proposal for a research project that is based upon a real-world study. The study aims to trial gene therapy for Hunter syndrome in a small group of young children. As you work through the module, we invite you to consider the ethics issues that are associated with this type of study from a variety of perspectives as well as how they might be addressed.

The world is facing several pressing environmental issues such as climate change and air pollution that need to be urgently addressed. As lab managers, researchers, innovators, and students, our work aims to solve these environmental challenges. Ironically, many scientific labs consume excessive energy, generate significant material waste, and rely on unsustainable equipment, substantially increasing their carbon footprints. However, the good news is that simple, practical actions can make a big difference. What could these practical actions be?
This micromodule is designed to equip learners with the knowledge and tools needed to make labs more environmentally friendly, thereby contributing to a Green Transition. Through real-world examples and a case study showcasing eco-friendly lab management practices, this micromodule will foster learning and critical reflection on how greening strategies can be tailored to specific contexts and scale up for a broader outreach.

These video lectures can be used independently or in conjunction with the ROSiE Responsible Open Science training materials. The ROSiE training materials examine a variety of topics from multiple disciplinary perspectives, including humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, health and life sciences, and citizen science. The video lectures provide a concise introduction to ethical issues in Open Science, which may be followed by engagement with training materials for further exploration of discipline-specific topics.
Each lecture is organised into multiple segments, focusing on a distinct topic. Upon completion of a segment, participants are expected to complete a quiz covering the material discussed. Additionally, certain lectures include case studies that provide an opportunity to reflect on how the concepts learned can be applied to practical ethical issues in Open Science.
Finally, if you want to get more information on a particular topic, there is a list of further reading for each lecture.

The goal of this course is that PhD candidates learn how and why supervision, mentoring and collaboration are key ingredients to support Responsible Conduct in Research (RCR). At the end of the course PhD candidates will be better prepared to recognize and constructively deal with challenges that they can face when collaborating with others during their PhD research.
Instruction
After completing this module learners will be able to: a) Comprehend the role of citizen science in identifying and addressing scientific problems and societal challenges, and b) Recognize the right of citizen scientists to be acknowledged by academic scientists and society.
Instruction
After completing this module learners will be able to: a) Understand the risks to the environment, plants, animals, and ecosystems in the context of citizen science and b) Understand how to minimize risks to the environment, plants, animals, and ecosystems when practising citizen science.
Instruction
This module presents a training activity which can be done with pariticipants to reflect on AI in Healthcare.
Instruction
The Data in responsible conduct of research course is designed to highlight which integrity issues can rise during a research project and to promote RCR.
Instruction
The Integrity in academic publication: authorship and peer review course aims to stimulate PhD candidates to become aware of relevant issues in their academic publishing practice and ways to approach them. During this course PhD candidates will reflect on ways to be good authors and fair reviewers.
Instruction
The RCR through supervision and mentoring course is designed to stimulate supervisors to become aware of which issues are relevant in supervising and mentoring. More specifically, mentors will get a chance to reflect on research integrity within their own research practice.
Instruction
This module gives an overview of tools and resources that can be used to tailor your research integrity training to your audience and measure its effectiveness.
Instruction
This exercise fosters reflection on the concept of goodness and how it applies in the context of research.

The aim
To encourage learners to consider how and why matters of social justice, vulnerability and inclusion are relevant to research and the impacts of research.
The learning outcomes
At the end of this module, learners will be able to:
- Consider the meaning and relevance of social justice in research.
- Explain the importance of inclusion in research and the ethics issues associated with exclusion.
- Describe the special measures that need to be implemented for the ethical inclusion of vulnerable populations in research.
Instruction
The PREPARED training clips can be used to foster reflection on key ethics and integrity issues which should be taken into account when conducting research in crisis situations.
Instruction
Research ethics and integrity challenges during pandemics are not unique, but they are vastly magnified during crises. The PREPARED Code for researchers, research ethics committees and research integrity offices applies throughout a pandemic. The code was developed by an international consortium and is based on research undertaken in English, Chinese, French, German, Hindi, Japanese, Korean, Russian and Spanish. It was refined through a human rights analysis and extensive consultation with stakeholders. Input from marginalized populations was obtained at every stage.
THE PREPARED CODE:
- Respects the Declaration of Helsinki as the primary source of research ethics guidance during pandemics.
- Provides support across all research disciplines.
- Presents concise statements in clear language to encourage access.
- Combines guidance on research ethics and integrity.
- Complements the TRUST Code and the European Code of Conduct for Research Integrity, because the risks of inequitable research and breaches of research integrity can increase during a crisis.
- Links each guidance article to the values of fairness, respect, care and honesty.
Instruction
This module provides a state-of-the art overview of methods and approaches to teaching, which according to extant research, are appropriate to support learning in the context of research ethics and integrity.
Instruction
