Research Integrity Week will return for its third year from 19-23 June with a programme of sessions for researchers, staff and students.

The university is celebrating its commitment to the concordat to support research integrity and its values through which trust and confidence in research stem, and from which the value and benefits of research flow.

Research is the professional commitment to conduct all research according to the appropriate legal, ethical and professional frameworks, obligations and standards. There are five core elements: honesty, rigour, transparency and open communication, care and respect, and accountability.

It helps protect and value individual researchers, research participants/organisations, and contributes to the quality and excellence of research. Researchers all have a responsibility to ensure that all research is subject to appropriate consideration of professional, ethical, and legal issues.

The University of Nottingham Research Integrity and Research Ethics Committee is inviting all staff and students to take part in Research Integrity Week.

The sessions can be found below, with more details available on the Research Integrity and Ethics SharePoint.
