This webinar forms part of the Research Integrity Week

Target Audience: Postgraduate Researchers, ECRs and Staff

Description:

The standards for research seem to be fairly straightforward: be honest, take care of research participants, and don't steal the work of others.

Dr James Parry, Chief Executive of the UK Research Integrity Office will explore whether these assumptions are correct or if we need to think a bit more about what ethics and integrity mean for our research. What impact can ‘research culture’ – the environment and ethos of research organisations – have on the quality and ethical standards of research? Do incentives and competition improve the conduct of research or increase mistakes and other problems?

The session will look at the challenges involved in ensuring that research is high quality and of high ethical standards, discuss the pressures faced by researchers and explore what researchers and organisations can do to safeguard and enhance good research practice. Includes a Q&A session at the end.

Process: MS Teams Webinar followed by Q&A session
