(opens in a new window)Standard Operating Procedures for Research Integrity (SPOs4RI)
SOPs4RI will deliver an online, freely accessible and easy-to-use ‘toolbox’ that can help RPOs and RFOs cultivate research integrity and reduce detrimental practice. SOPs4RI will establish an inventory of relevant Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and Guidelines that RPOs and RFOs can draw on when developing governance arrangements promoting strong research integrity cultures.
(opens in a new window)The Embassy of Good Science
The goal of The Embassy of Good Science is to promote research integrity among all those involved in research, by providing (opens in a new window)thematic resources to stimulate discussion, (opens in a new window)Case Studies and teaching resources, as well as a comprehensive (opens in a new window)Training Guide. The Embassy aims to become a unique ‘go to’ place, a public square where the community of researchers can gather to discuss ‘hot topics’, share knowledge, and find guidance and support to perform science responsibly and with integrity.
