Existing Training Initiatives for Research Ethics and Integrity
Existing Training Initiatives for Research Ethics and Integrity
What is this about?
PRINTEGER
PRINTEGER project, aims to strengthen research integrity by fostering a culture where integrity is integral to excellent research, beyond just external regulation. The project seeks to improve integrity governance by focusing on researchers’ everyday practices within a complex research environment
PATH2INTEGRITY
The Path2Integrity project introduces educators to innovative teaching methods that will take topics in Research Integrity and Ethics. The project provides introductory videos and information on the teaching methodology used, discussing research integrity and its significance.
INTEGRITY
The goal of INTEGRITY is to empower students and early career researchers. Rather than focusing on compliance, the project's first approach is to develop the capacity of participants to identify, consider, and address integrity concerns in research procedures.
ENERI Classroom
ENERI Classroom contains training material exploring research ethics and integrity issues focusing on academics, and research ethics and integrity experts. The research integrity advisory boards, committees handling allegations or working with research integrity policy development, research integrity officers and advisors, research integrity ombudspersons (RIOs), research ethics committees including their members and their secretariats (RECs), and experts and officers in EU-bodies are the main target groups of the training materials and curricula tool.
VIRT2UE
The VIRT2UE Train the Trainer program is designed for researchers and educators across various disciplines who wish to become Research Integrity trainers. It adopts a virtue-based approach, encouraging participants to reflect on their own perspectives and understanding of research integrity. The program emphasizes personal case reflection and practical experiences, aiming to create a strong link between theoretical knowledge and real-world application.
RID-SSISS
The RID-SSISS training aims to help beginner and more experienced researchers develop their research ethics competencies in HE institutions. A CSCL (Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning) ethics resource was designed that utilised cases, collaboration, and structural scaffolding (see Table 1 for an overview).
EnTIRE
EnTIRE is the project behind The Embassy of Good Science a Wiki based community driven platform on research ethics and integrity which provides resources such as guidelines, cases and training material for and by researchers and research taskeholders who want to support good science.
BRIDGE
The Bridging Integrity in Higher Education, Business, and Society (BRIDGE) project aimed at connecting integrity practices across academia, research, business, and society. BRIDGE targets early-career researchers (master’s and PhD students) and their supervisors, with the first step focused on analyzing integrity practices across these fields. The project will develop checklists, open educational resources (including gamified tools), and training to bridge gaps between academic and research integrity.
ROSiE
The ROSiE training materials will be aimed at the following groups of trainees: (i) students, (ii) early career researchers, (iii) experienced researchers, and (iv) citizen scientists. The ROSiE consortium aims to develop a didactic framework which is learner-centred; based on interests, backgrounds, and learning styles of trainees; and ensures active and collaborative involvement in the learning process.
