Blinded by Private Conflict – Choosing Ego Over Professionalism

What is this about?

The Embassy of Good Science is a wiki platform developed in the EnTIRE project, which was granted in the EU Horizon 2020 programme four years ago. The platform and its relevance for Research Integrity (RI) in Europe and beyond were presented during the final conference of the project, which was held online on October 25th and 26th, 2021.

This case scenario was submitted as a part of research integrity scenario competition that was held during the second day of the conference.

Why is this important?

The scenario focuses on a student whose years of hard work might go to waste because of her mentor's pride.

When mentoring, one always must be aware of the fact that they bear a great responsibility. It’s not about the benefits that come with the ,,mentor” title, it’s about teaching your protégé, developing a healthy working relationship, helping and encouraging them every step of the way. While doing so, the integrity of the project, the mentee and the mentor must be preserved.
