Learn how to build trust, navigate challenges and embed integrity into every stage of your research.

1-day virtual Research Integrity and Research Culture course, suitable for technical professionals of all career stages, sectors (higher education/ industry/ health service) and disciplines (e.g. STEM, creative subjects, etc.). No prior knowledge of the topics by attendees is required.
Trust is the currency of research and without it, even the best ideas lose impact and influence. Drawing on the trainer’s 20 years of experience, this interactive session will unpack the principles of research culture and research integrity and explore how everyday decisions, team culture and research systems shape the work of technical professionals and the wider research community. It will also explore how to fulfil the requirements from funders and others to conduct research and innovation responsibly and with integrity.
Whether you’re early in your career or an experienced technical professional, you’ll gain practical strategies to build integrity into every stage of your work, navigate challenges with confidence and create a research culture that supports excellence – strengthening the impact of your research.
The course uses presentations, facilitated group work and structured discussion to examine the challenges involved in upholding robust and ethically responsible research. It explores the demands and pressures placed on the research community and how these can affect day-to-day practice. The session also focuses on practical steps that individuals and organisations can take to strengthen standards, support positive behaviours, and build environments that encourage best practice in research.
Participants will be invited to reflect on their own experiences and to learn from others, contributing to an open and supportive space for shared learning and discussion.
