Organized by Bioethics Institute, Universidade Católica Portuguesa
Coordinated by Mara de Sousa Freitas, with expert trainers from the Network for Education on Research Quality (NERQ)
In a time when scientific progress is deeply intertwined with public trust, research integrity is more than a principle, it’s a shared responsibility.
Join us for an engaging in-person training session led by Mara de Sousa Freitas, featuring expert facilitators from the Network for Education on Research Quality (NERQ), with the generous support of Gulbenkian and CAC-LUZ.
This course offers a unique blend of theory and practice, including:
- Ethical foundations of research
- Real-world case discussions
- Emerging topics like AI, open science, and reproducibility
- Peer exchange and critical reflection
Highlights from the program:
- Sessions on authorship, supervision, and publication ethics
- Ethical dilemmas in research (World Café style)
Final Conference | Free Participation with Registration Required
Responsible Science: Building a Culture of Integrity in Research, at Fundação Calouste Gulbenkian, Lisbon, 14 November 2025 | 10:00–13:00
This public event marks the closing of the NERQ Training and is open to all interested participants. Join us for a thought-provoking final conference where leading voices in research ethics and policy will explore how institutions and researchers can navigate the evolving landscape of research integrity.
Key questions:
- How can we move beyond compliance to build a true culture of integrity grounded in shared values and ethical reflection?
- What structural changes are needed to make responsible research practices achievable in a system driven by publication metrics and funding pressures?
- How should researchers engage with the societal impact of their work — and how can integrity frameworks adapt to the challenges of AI, open science, and global collaboration?
This will be more than a conversation, it will be a call to action for institutions, funders, and researchers to rethink how we define and support integrity in research.
Participation for the final conference is free, but registration is mandatory.
