'Promoting research integrity in Europe', Brussels, Belgium
18 January 2011 - 18 January 2011
Belgium
A conference entitled 'Promoting research integrity in Europe' will be held on 18 January 2011 in Brussels, Belgium.
With the globalisation of research, there is increasing public pressure to show that researchers' behaviour is above reproach, especially in terms of publications in scientific and scholarly journals. The requirement for institutions, especially universities, to have policies and procedures in place for dealing with misconduct and for providing the education and training necessary for researchers is becoming paramount.
Discussions at the event will centre on the Singapore Statement on Research Integrity. It is intended to challenge governments, organizations and researchers to develop more comprehensive standards, codes and policies to promote research integrity both locally and on a global basis. The statement is the product of the collective effort and insights of the 340 individuals from 51 countries who participated in the Second World Conference on Research Integrity.For further information, please visit: http://www.cost.eu/events/integrity(opens in new window)
