In this training, you will learn how to raise awareness about research integrity in big projects such as the Human Brain Project by embracing and implementing The European Code of Conduct for Research Integrity.

The European Commission recognises The European Code of Conduct for Research Integrity (2017) as the reference document for research integrity in all EU-funded research projects and as a model for organisations and researchers across Europe. The Code of Conduct states that good research practices are based on fundamental principles of research integrity. They guide researchers in their work and engagement with the practical, ethical and intellectual challenges inherent in research. In the Human Brain Project and EBRAINS, this translates to embracing those principles in how we work and perform good and responsible science and in implementing mechanisms that support best practices.

But how can we address research integrity issues in big research projects? How do we identify research integrity mechanisms in our interdisciplinary work? This Researcher Awareness and Research Integrity training is designed to open a conversation about research integrity issues, developing capacities for researchers, staff and managers to identify and address them. 

Hosted by Dr Manuel Guerrero, leader of the Ethics Rapporteur Programme at the Human Brain Project, this video introduces the work for researcher awareness and research integrity in the Human Brain Project, followed by a presentation by Prof Stefan Eriksson, expert in research ethics and research integrity matters from Uppsala University.
