Research integrity training at UiO
The research integrity training provides insight into ethical guidelines and norms in research, and how they are used in situations that researchers may encounter.
The course is offered to postdoctoral fellows and academic staff at UiO. It provides an overview of relevant guidelines, norms and legislation for research ethics that UiO is committed to through its standard for research integrity.
Furthermore, the course gives researchers the opportunity to exercise their "ethical muscle" and discuss ethical issues in research with colleagues from different academic traditions. It aims to provide tools and reflections that are of use when such issues arise in the daily life as a researcher.
The course consists of one digital preparatory module with an assignment and one physical course day. The physical course day is the main part of the course.
The course has been developed by UiO researchers with broad expertise in ethics and research integrity. It started up in the winter of 2024 and has received very good feedback.
“It has been both instructive and inspiring to discuss and learn from colleagues from very different disciplines.”
“We need to meet and challenge our opinions.”
