The 5th World Conference on Research Integrity will be organized around the interlinked themes of transparency and accountability, building on the premise that the honesty and reliability of research are best served by openly sharing all aspects of research and by taking personal responsibility for it. The conference program will explore the challenges of promoting transparency and accountability and the consequences of the failure to do so, with the overall goal of developing an evidence-based agenda for addressing the various lapses of integrity that seem to have become an endemic problem in research today. We are looking forward to welcoming researchers, institutional leaders, research administrators, funders, publishers and others to Amsterdam in May 2017 to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the World Conferences on Research Integrity.

The international conference Plagiarism across Europe and Beyond aims to be a forum for sharing best practices and experiences by addressing issues of academic integrity. The conference brings several prominent names in the field of academic integrity together from all over the world. With regards to the crucial role of ethics and honesty in academic work, universities are in need of more effective policies against infringements of academic standards. The conference therefore aims to contribute to the standardization of sanctions towards academic misconduct by approaching the issue from several perspectives such as detection and prevention of plagiarism, the impact of text-matching software, types of plagiarism, teaching norms of best practice, and institutional and national standards. As academic integrity is considered to be culturally bound, standardizing sanctions requires a careful examination of several related cases from different countries. Due to its geographical location, Turkey bridges not only the continents of Europe and Asia but also various cultures, making it a perfect location for a conference that includes meeting with relevant researchers from all over the world. Plagiarism across Europe and Beyond is jointly organized by Canakkale Onsekiz Mart University, the European Network for Academic Integrity and the Council of Europe.

The conference aims to build up a roundtable for sharing best practices and experience with addressing ethical issues within academia and society as well as to contribute to relevant managerial solutions. The conference will be held on 11-12 October 2018 in Vilnius, Lithuania.

Abstract submission deadline is 1st of March 2018
High quality papers presented at the conference will be selected for publication in the international academic journal ETHICAL PERSPECTIVES (indexed in Scopus, Web of Science and other databases).

Hosted by Mykolas Romeris University

This conference is an opportunity for academics (scholars, researchers, teachers and postgraduate students), managers, editors, publishers, consultants and practitioners from around the world who are involved in integrity management and/or compliance management to come together for sharing best practices and experience in addressing ethical issues within academia, commerce and society and, in the same vein, to contribute to relevant managerial solutions. The conference would interest individuals and organizations that would value comprehensive definitions and effective solutions for resolving ethical issues combined with broad discussion, understanding cultural differences and exchange of experiences from different perspectives. A primary goal of the conference is to encourage ethical behaviour and embedding of ethical principles in academia as a waypoint in a continuum between family; high school; higher education; research, business and the world of work as well as for society in general.

In an era of increasing digitalization and almost unlimi­ted access to knowledge, ensuring academic integrity is more important than ever. The Vienna Days of Academic Integrity

take place on 25 and 26 September 2019 at mdw - University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna for the first time and will be a forum to discuss com­prehensively current challenges in practice and to find possible solutions.

Within the frame of good scientific practice and plagi­arism, the keynote speeches of international experts focus on the issues prevention, training and ghostwri­ting. Workshops, talks and a panel discussion deepen these topics and offer possible solution approaches in the academic environment. An overview of current resources and innovative materials will provide partici­pants with further ideas for target group-oriented im­plementation.

In addition, the „Vienna Days of Academic Integrity“ offer a unique opportunity to network with experts from the tertiary education sector. Although the conference language is German, two key­notes and one workshop per session will be in English.

The 2020 theme has been chosen in line with Dubai’s Happiness Agenda: Integrity in education for future happiness

At the European Network for Academic Integrity’s Annual General Meeting (2018), the University of Wollongong in Dubai won the bid to organise the 6^th International Conference Plagiarism across Europe and Beyond Conference 2020. Academic Integrity is the foundation on which all of academia stands. It is in schools, classrooms, in corridors and canteens that students, the future citizens of the world, gather an understanding of what is right and what is wrong, what is meant by integrity, being truthful, responsible, and respectful. It is here that they develop honesty and fairness and take those values into the real world and as members of the greater community, practicing these skills in their everyday lives and at their workplaces. Ensuring and upholding integrity in education provides for a sustainable, constructive future – a platform that fosters, encourages and celebrates innovation and contributes to happy individuals, happy workplaces and a happy society.

Over the last years, the question of academic integrity became one of the most important
issues in higher education, as various forms of academic misconduct and non-ethical behavior
become more visible and more frequent. We are nowadays witnessing the types of academic
misconduct which are not easily understandable from both rational and ethical points of view,
such as researchers publishing false data, forging results, plagiarizing or self-plagiarizing, etc.
Similarly, number of students are cheating during the exams and showing wide array of nonethical behaviors. These and many other aspects of the academic “non-integrity” (in science and in education) are of particular interest for the international scientific community, which acknowledged this as the increasingly relevant and internationally recognized problem.

Therefore, the main objective of the conference is to enhance scientific knowledge on the
academic integrity through the interdisciplinary research-based approach which should
facilitate emergence of innovative strategies for spreading the culture of academic integrity,
promoting ethical behavior and preventing plagiarism and other types on non-ethical
practices in academic environment and beyond.

We are proud to have some distinguished world-leading scholars as our keynote speakers:

• Dr Tricia Bertram Gallant, Director of Academic Integrity Office at the University of
  California, San Diego, USA.
