Background information
Research institutions have the responsibility to ensure that the research it produces is trustworthy, to merit society’s trust and investment in scientific and scholarly research. Particularly when this is funded publicly. Although this is widely recognized, the pressures and dilemmas faced by researchers in the current system of science and research climate do not adequately facilitate responsible research practices. It is also unclear which strategies should be employed to decrease the occurrence of questionably research practices across different domains of research.
Understanding, as best we can, how researchers foster research integrity and where they face difficulty in doing so is critical to appreciating the differences between responsible research practices and questionable research practices. So, let’s discuss openly the triggers for cutting corners or engaging in research misbehavior and about how researchers are navigating the system of science while striving to improve the quality, relevance and credibility of their work; about what researchers, and research institutions can do to help foster research integrity in The Netherlands and beyond.
Who should attend?
This meeting is open to all disciplines of researchers interested in research integrity and relevant stakeholders who contribute to the scientific system. The meeting will be announced online and through the social media channels of collaborating endorsers of the NSRI when relevant.
The event will be held in English so as to enable researchers of all backgrounds to join. This will also allow the recorded presentations to be shared broadly to a non-Dutch speaking audience. The set-up is aimed at stimulating a lively, interactive exchange and dialogue among speakers and attendees.
Participants can join onsite or online depending on Covid-19 circumstance. [1] You can register for the symposium for free on NRIN website from half of August 2020.
