The European Civil Society is faced with dynamic and rapid developments in science and technology. Many of these developments improve the quality of life of citizens in industrialised societies in an extraordinary way. At the same time negative side effects of science and technology are visible.

ENERI Boot Camp for RIOs
ENERI organised a Research Integrity Boot Camp on April 9-10, 2018 at the National Research Council (NCR) in Rome.

The boot camp focused on the ALLEA Code of Conduct, conflict of interest, authorship and plagiarism, GDPR, building a culture of integrity, and ethics review in non-medical fields. All sessions involved discussion and debate around cases. The heterogeneity of national and institutional guidelines and procedures, and of participant experiences and views was truly exposed in the discussions, and while a challenge for concluding the…
