Looking Ahead: The NERQ Reception at WCRI 2026

The online pre-meeting is just the beginning. It leads into the NERQ Reception, a flagship networking event taking place alongside the World Conference on Research Integrity 2026 in Vancouver.

The reception aims to:

  • Connect international stakeholders in research integrity and Responsible Conduct of Research
  • Foster collaboration across regions and disciplines
  • Showcase NERQ’s activities and community
  • Expand the global network

At the previous edition during the World Conference on Research Integrity 2024, the reception welcomed around 80 participants and featured engaging formats such as thematic discussions and “Dîner Pensant” exchanges. Building on this success, the 2026 edition will further strengthen global connections—particularly with North American partners.
