Research integrity

The EMBO Fora on Responsible Research (previously called Research Integrity Workshops) are organised in institutes in EMBC Member States, in close collaboration with a local EMBO Member. They are one day long and targeted at young PIs and senior post-docs of the host institutes. The sessions are interactive and include discussion of scenarios. To allow active participation, the maximum number of participants is 30. The EMBO Policy staff delivers the sessions with the involvement of other EMBO staff, local experts and of the host EMBO Member. The programme is flexible and can be adapted to specific research environments. It covers a selection of the following topics:

• Researchers’ responsibilities
• Research misconduct
• Issues in scientific publishing and assessment
• Emerging policy issues in data management
• Conflicts of interest
• The supervisor’s responsibilities
• Research involving human subjects
• Research involving animals

Registration for the sessions is done locally through the local organizer. There are no registration fees.

EMBO Members interested in organising an EMBO Forum on Responsible Research at their institute should please contact the Policy Programme.
