VIRT2UE PhD course for Research Integrity

What does it mean to do 'good' research and to be a 'good' researcher? What does it mean to act 'professionally' and with 'integrity'? How can we approach moral dilemmas experienced in research?

This VIRT2UE PhD course for Research Integrity will explore these questions and more. The course follows a blended learning approach. PhD students undertake series of short interactive eLearning modules as preparatory assignments: 1) 'Introduction to Research Integrity'; 2) 'Introduction of Virtue Ethics to Research Integrity'; 3) 'Virtue Ethics under Current Research Conditions' 4) 'Introduction to Responsible Supervision, Mentoring and Role-modelling'.

Over in-person sessions covering two days, PhD students are guided through a series of structured dialogical exercises for fostering reflection on scientific virtues, and how to promote understanding of the European Code of Conduct for Research Integrity, which is the primary guidance document on research integrity for academic institutions in Europe.

This course is appropriate for all PhD students. It is a mandatory course for students from Amsterdam UMC. Students are also made aware of the institutional support available to them when they encounter questionable research practices.

This course is free for PhD students of Amsterdam UMC. For more information and registration, please click this link.
