Purpose

The principles of academic and research integrity apply to every part of an educational institution. Effective institutional policies for academic and research integrity help to reinforce and promote the institution’s culture of integrity. Crucially, integrity underpins and supports educational quality and standards; conversely lack of integrity inevitably undermines institutional quality and standards. An institutional culture of integrity helps to create an atmosphere of trust that permeates the institution. There is an expectation that graduates from that institution will develop ethical decision-making skills that they will be able to apply in their professional, public and private lives, thereby positively influencing society as a whole. 

Objectives

  • To meet regularly online (where possible, monthly) to discuss developments related to academic and research integrity policies;
  • To share and promote good practice in policy design, development and revision;
  • To provide support and information to help members to develop effective institutional policies and procedures that are tuned to their institutional needs;
  • To develop proposals for research projects and to conduct research relating to policies for academic and research integrity;
  • To develop and share materials and expertise relating to academic and research integrity policies;
  • To share research findings and resources from this group, through webinars, summer schools, conferences and scholarly publications.

Meetings

The Group endeavours to hold an online meeting once per month lasting between 60 and 90 minutes, September to June, with a break for summer. The meeting agenda normally includes updates from members and a short presentation, from a member of guest speaker, on a relevant topical subject. To accommodate different time zones of our members who are geographically dispersed, we normally begin the meetings at 15:00 GMT.

Please contact the Group leader or co-leader if you would like to find out more.
