Dissemination Programme

UKRIO contributes to the national and international promotion of integrity in research. This involves promotion of our work at conferences and other events, giving lectures and case study workshops, as well as promotion in journals and in the press. Recent audiences include the Association of Research Managers and Administrators, TurnItIn (formerly the JISC Plagiarism Advisory Service) and the NHS National Clinical Assessment Service.

Sessions are designed to share good practice in the conduct of research and pass on the lessons that UKRIO has learnt through its advice and guidance services.

If your organisation would be interested in learning more about good practice in research, research misconduct or the work of UKRIO, please contact us here to discuss your requirements.

Past events

As part of our dissemination programme, UKRIO has co-sponsored or contributed to a number of major conferences and workshops on research integrity and misconduct in research.

In March 2010, UKRIO co-sponsored a one-day conference which explored how to foster closer collaboration between higher education, the health service and the private sector. Other co-sponsors included Universities UK, the Medical Schools Council and the Council of Deans of Health. Staff from UKRIO led sessions describing the work of our organisation and why it is vital for organisations to promote good practice in research, rather than assume it is always self-evident.

In April 2008, UKRIO, along with Research Councils UK, Universities UK, the Wellcome Trust and other organisations, co-sponsored a policy workshop on the Governance of Good Research Conduct in the UK. The workshop was held at Keele University and further details, including copies of the presentations made at the workshop, can be found here.

In November 2008, UKRIO, Universities UK and the Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC) co-sponsored a conference on tackling plagiarism and academic misconduct. Details of the conference programme, including copies of the presentations made at the conference, can be found here.

A number of other events are in the planning stage and further information will be posted here shortly.
