About this workshop

This workshop will give you a brief overview of the field of research integrity (RI), including providing you with a language for discussion. It will also present tools and approaches you can use to identify, manage, mitigate, or avoid research integrity challenges.

By participating in this workshop you will empower yourself with both knowledge and tools that you can utilise to strengthen your own research and to develop and deliver responsible research projects.

This is the first in a 3-part workshop series which we encourage you to take as a complete set.

Preparation for the workshop

Attendees must complete Module 1 of the ORI’s online RCR training programme; available via www.successfactors.uct.ac.za.

Participants should be prepared to actively engage in collaborative activities via a range of tools (e.g., Mentimeter or post-its and flipcharts) and should bring a device that enables use of these tools during the seminar (e.g. laptop or smart phone). Physical stationery will be supplied for some activities.
