High-level priority setting towards an agenda of actions and interventions to foster research integrity; organized by ENRIO and Science Europe; 9:00 – 12:00
Organized by ENRIO and Science Europe
22 September, 9:00 – 12:00
Room: TBD
ENRIO and Science Europe welcome participants of the ENRIO Congress to a high-level priority setting workshop, aimed at developing a joint, cross-sector understanding of priorities to foster research integrity in Europe.
The workshop will bring together a variety of stakeholders to prioritise collective actions in support of research integrity and good research practice. It builds on recent discussions and activities of the co-hosting organisations and aims to bridge the specific roles and responsibilities of different stakeholder groups, promoting collaboration and coordinated action in support of research integrity and good research practice. The workshop will explore and prioritise, through breakout sessions, a number of possible action domains, including:
- Safe culture for reporting misconduct
- Systemically learning from investigated cases / open case reports
- Avoiding serial frauds travelling internationally
- Overcoming the barriers in changing research assessment and culture
- Joint action against AI-powered research criminality (e.g. paper mills)
- Strengthened platforms and formats for international sharing and networking
Participants will be invited to reflect on these areas, and others, prior to the workshop. The event will conclude with an effort to establish a consensus on key actions to take forward and means to further promote collaboration towards these. A collaborative publication following the event will summarise key outcomes and provide recommendations for collective action.

Try-outs of research integrity trainings (powered by NERQ); organized by NERQ (Network on Education and Research Quality); 9:00 – 13:00
Organised by NERQ (Network on Education and Research Quality)
22 September, 9:00 – 12:00
Room: TBD
This satellite event addresses the critical need for a community of practice among research integrity (RI) trainers in Europe. Despite the global prevalence of responsible conduct of research (RCR) trainings, there’s a significant lack of consensus on effective methods, curricula, and content. In addition, trainers may have diverse disciplinary backgrounds, experience, and personal goals. This rich diversity across Europe is not harvested, and many RCR/RI trainers build their training from scratch, reinventing the wheel. The Network for Education and Research Quality (NERQ) aims to bridge this gap by fostering structured peer learning. This half-day event will serve as a practical platform for RI trainers to share and receive constructive feedback on their work. The program includes: (i) An introduction to NERQ and its peer coaching initiative, including a group for “desk coaching” on training materials; (ii) The presentation of a draft rubric designed for assessing RI trainings; (iii) The delivery of “try-out” sessions where trainers will be able to put in practice their training and engage their peers, followed by a feedback session; (iv) A collective discussion on the future of this peer coaching initiative, exploring opportunities for regular sessions and the elaboration of the rubric. This interactive event offers a unique opportunity for RI trainers to refine their skills, share best practices, and contribute to a more cohesive and effective approach to research integrity education in Europe.

2nd Global Satellite Research Integrity Networking Meeting; organized by ENRIO; 13.15 – 15.15
Organized by ENRIO and NRIN
22 September, 13:15 – 15:15
Room: TBD
The European Network for Research Integrity Offices (ENRIO), in collaboration with the Netherlands Research Integrity Network (NRIN), warmly invites all research integrity practitioners (e.g. coordinators, representatives, members of Research Integrity networks/offices/departments, researchers, policy advisors) who wish to learn and exchange practices with those actively engaged in promoting research integrity at both national and transnational levels, to attend the 2nd Global Satellite Research Integrity Networking Meeting, which will take place on 22nd September 2025 (13:15 – 15:15; hybrid mode).
This informal event aims to foster dialogue and networking among participants, and facilitate peer learning through the exchange of experiences, primarily highlighting effective practices and obstacles faced by participants in their efforts to raise awareness of research integrity. Your participation is essential to identify good practices and challenges encountered in promoting research integrity at local, national, or transnational levels.
Feel free to contact us () if you would like to attend this event, and please let us know whether you will be attending onsite or online.
We look forward to meeting you in Ljubljana or online soon!

How do European funded projects promote research integrity policy and practice in the European Research Area: IANUS, POIESIS, VERITY, RE4GREEN, PREPARED, CHANGER and The Embassy of Good Science; 9:00 – 17:45
22 September, 9:00 – 17:45
Room: TBD
As Europe navigates rapid technological advancements and political and societal change, the continent is faced with the challenge of improving global competitiveness in research and innovation, whilst simultaneously upholding European values of openness, equity, and sustainability. Central to meeting this challenge is the embedding of research integrity and research ethics in European, national, and institutional research policies and practices.
This satellite event will outline how the European Commission’s vision for the responsible conduct of research in the European Research Area (ERA) is translated into the science for policy processes and funding streams for collaborative European projects, with an introduction to the priorities for the 2026-27 work programme.
This will be followed by a series of sessions from current European initiatives which all aim to strengthen research integrity and research ethics within the European Research Area.
Representatives from the Embassy of Good Science platform and six key European projects (IANUS, POIESIS, VERITY, RE4GREEN, PREPARED and CHANGER) and two collaborating national projects (LYTE and LUKE) will lead sessions on four cross-cutting research integrity challenges:
- Building supportive frameworks for fostering trust in science;
- Fostering open, equitable and inclusive research and innovation ecosystem;
- Embedding sustainability principles in research to support the green transition;
- Developing research system resilience for times of disruption and change.
These interactive, mixed format sessions will give the audience the opportunity to familiarize themselves and exchange knowledge about the complexities of challenges Europe faces, as well as the insights, policy recommendations and associated tools and training materials developed by the European projects.
The event will end with a presentation of the Embassy of Good Science platform and a demonstration of how the platform fosters wider engagement with projects’ outputs, creates connections between projects and existing resources, and encourages the long-term use and impact of project results.
Registration is mandatory and limited to 50 participants. Hurry and register for the event using the form linked below.
