VIRT2UE Train the Trainer program
Content overview
The Concordat to Support Research Integrity is a governance framework in the UK for conducting research properly. VIRT2UE is a programme and a community of practice that emphasises ethical behaviour in research by encouraging researchers to develop good habits that lead to excellence beyond compliance.
The training consists of participatory exercises that cover key aspects of research integrity, including moral and epistemic virtues, encompassing robust, open and reproducible research practices. Participants will be led through the exercises, and shown how to lead the training themselves.
Learning objectives
- Relate the principles outlined in the Concordat to Support Research Integrity to concrete RI cases
- Develop knowledge and skills to apply participatory exercises that help researchers cultivate scientific virtues while reflecting on concrete cases and dilemmas
- Develop didactical competences necessary to organise and implement research integrity training
- Develop a predisposition to cultivate virtues in research, and know how to act upon those virtues in concrete and complex moral dilemmas in research
Completion criteria
Participants are expected to:
- attend the two-day training (probably 9:00-15:00) in full and participate in the exercises, and attend a follow up meeting organised 6 months after the training;
- create, commit and discuss a training plan at their local institutions;
- train at least 10 participants at their local institutions in the period of 6 months following the training.
