Research Integrity, Power Dynamics and Safe Institutional Culture:
ENRIO 2025 Congress on Research Integrity Practice
The ENRIO 2025 Congress in Ljubljana will continue the newly established series of biennial events addressing research integrity practice (RI) and the development of responsible research in Europe. ENRIO 2025 is organised by the European Network of Research Integrity Offices (ENRIO) and University of Ljubljana, Slovenia.
The Congress is aimed at all experts in research integrity and research ethics, RI officers and practitioners, members of ethics and investigation committees, representatives of research funding organisations and sponsors, and all interested and involved in the enhancement and sustainable implementation of good RI practices and policies.
Thematically, the Congress will emphasise power dynamics in research and institutional responsibility to foster an open, safe and inclusive research environment as a foundation for RI in everyday practice. In a broader global context, this also implies the recognition of fairness, equity and diversity as essential components of RI, as outlined in the Cape Town Statement of 2022. Contributions will reflect the range of challenges, as well as practical and emerging solutions for prevention and awareness raising.
Registration and Call for Abstracts will open in December 2024.
Themes
Relevant subthemes include:
- Tensions in RI training and teaching
- Different forms of discrimination and how to overcome those
- Abuse of authority and ways of prevention
- Conflicts of interests and commitment
- Challenges in collaborative and international research
- Equitable research assessment and reward systems
- Pressure in public and private research funding
Other relevant topics include:
- Responsible use of AI in research
- Responsible open science
While emphasising these topics, the Congress also invites contributions covering a broad range of RI issues and responsible research practices. Contributions can also cover case law and lessons learned from specific cases and examples for practical implementation.
