Training and development
UKRIO undertakes a wide variety of activities tailored to meet the needs of our network of over 140 subscribing institutions, informed by UKRIO’s unmatched practical experience. Our charity aims to provide in-depth and long-term support for its subscribers to support them to authentically embed a culture of research integrity. A key part of this are our training and development activities, some of which are also available to non-subscribing organisations.
We work closely with the research community to understand the fundamental challenges it faces. Our training and development activities are available to everyone involved in research at an organisation, from the senior leadership team to those just starting their research careers.
