As part of the APRISE training programme, we are pleased to announce the upcoming Ethics & Integrity in Research training, delivered by Prof. Robert Morris, Professor of Physics at Nottingham Trent University (NTU), UK.

The training will be delivered through interactive, self-paced online videos and curated resources, allowing participants to complete the material at their own pace. It is expected to take approximately six hours, including topic-level quizzes and summative assessments.

Training Content

The programme will cover five key areas:

• Foundations: Introduction to research ethics, integrity and governance; principles of responsible research; compliance and legal aspects.
• Integrity in Practice: Research misconduct, questionable research practices, authorship, publication and peer-review ethics, and conflicts of interest.
• Data and Transparency: Data management and research records; transparency, reproducibility and open research.
• Research Ethics: Ethical principles, working with human participants, ethical review, risk assessment and mitigation.
• Emerging Challenges: Current and future challenges in research integrity and ethics.

The training aims to strengthen participants’ understanding of research integrity and ethical responsibilities and equip them with the knowledge and tools needed to identify and manage ethical challenges throughout the research process.
