2016 annual conference

Our fourth annual research integrity conference focused on how to support a culture of high quality and ethical research. Speakers, such as Sir Malcolm Grant, former President and Provost of University College London, discussed how to respond to common issues and pitfalls, while UKRIO and invited guests provided an update for new developments within the sector, such as the further development of the Concordat to Support Research Integrity.

Initial feedback on the event was very positive and we look forward to working on the topics and themes identified at the conference.
