Parallel session 1: Exchange of good practices for training research supervisors
Leads: Tamarinde L. Haven and Seán Lacey
Description: Research supervisors have the unique potential to leverage research quality and integrity. Yet what are examples of good practices for training supervisors? And what are the challenges and opportunities when solidifying and scaling up training initiatives?
With this SIG, we hope to start a community of practice consisting of researchers, trainers, policymakers and other stakeholders tasked with supervision and leadership for research quality and integrity.
Parallel session 2: The impact of using Generative AI on researchers’ behaviour and cognition
Leads: Katharina Miller and Mohammad Hosseini
Description: The use of Generative AI in research will impact researchers’ interaction with other researchers as well as their engagement with research subjects and the wider society. By exploring the impact of using generative AI on researchers’ behaviour and cognition, we can develop recommendations and policy advice for universities as well as create training materials for researchers to minimize the likelihood of flouting DEI and research integrity principles.
Parallel session 3: Evaluation of RCR education
Leads: Mariëtte van den Hoven & Miriam van Loon
Description : Evaluation of Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) education is crucial if we want to understand whether people who attend RCR education actually improve their behaviour and become more responsible researchers. How can this type of education be evaluated?
In this interactive workshop, we will share insights in recent developments in the field of research on RCR education and its evaluation, presenting the first results of our review on RCR evaluation, showing an overview of existing evaluation tools for RCR education (the study protocol is published on OSF: OSF).
The workshop will be concluded by setting the agenda for future meetings for our SIG group: what are our needs and wishes for the future?
Parallel session 4: Navigating Open Science with NERQ_OS
Leads: Julia Priess-Buchheit and Flavio Azevedo
Welcome to “Navigating Open Science with NERQ_OS,” a dynamic 90-minute workshop designed to engage participants in creating an educational map for tailored training in open science. This session directly responds to the objective suggested in May 2023 to foster a collaborative approach to open science education.
Join Julia Priess-Buchheit and Flavio Azevedo, leaders of the SIG Group Open Science, for this engaging and interactive workshop. Together, we can advance the cause of open science through collective learning and collaboration.
Parallel session 5: Working towards co-writing an article on best practices in the teaching of research ethics and research integrity
Leads: Cyril Holm and Hakan Salven
We perceive a lacuna of information on best practices in the teaching of research ethics and related subjects. Therefore, our suggested plan is to utilize September to Athens as a runway to produce an article on such best practices. You are all cordially invited as co-authors.
