Course in Research Ethics/Integrity: Hands-on Approach

20-23 April 2021 | 14:30 – 17:30 | ONLINE COURSE

This 20-hours course aims at promoting the discussion of case studies and a reflective approach to national and international documents in research ethics and integrity. By understanding and critically debating research ethics-specific issues, students will assimilate the importance of scientific integrity while acquiring key reasoning skills that will significantly increase the scientific quality and impact of their future research.
Due to a growing number of scientific frauds reported cases, research ethics and integrity have been the focus of regulamentation by the European Community. However, the answer to this problem cannot be restricted to norms and regulatory measures, since without reflective training, this normative approach will fall short of its objectives. Without due training in this area, misconduct and questionable practices in research are likely to go on, destroying trust in science and scientists and without trust, science cannot move forward.

Target audience: PhD students enrolled in MCBiology and in other doctoral programs; early career researchers from i3S, other research institutions and universities.
