It is Saturday (October 7th), and I am returning home from Brussels. I use this opportunity to say thanks to all SIG leads! We had a great meeting!
Dorian Karatzas welcomed us, highlighting a growing interest and relevance in NERQ. He stressed that #researchintegrity and #researchethics are foundational concepts and should be emphasized.
Seven special interest groups of #NERQ presented their work from the last few months, and we were all impressed with how much you already achieved. Great job!
We discussed NERQ’s three aims
- Exchanging good practices: experiences, formats, ‘what is happening
- Stimulating quality of training/trainers in the field
- Encouraging collaborations on research-based innovations in education
and collected plans on how to proceed in the future.
We decided
to submit a COST proposal in October 2024,
to organize training retreats and workshops,
to balance collaborations with others,
to organize a NERQ reception or meet and greet at the #WCRI2024
to - 
always - name NERQ when work originated from or is organized in NERQ (e.g. in proposals, publications, workshops)
that each SIG group describes in a short post their actions for the next six months so that all NERQ members know what is going on!
I feel a bit light-hearted, maybe because I will embark on a plane or because I understood yesterday that NERQ is relentlessly pushing with little steps toward research quality and, in reality, having an impact! Thank you, all.
Unfortunately, we were late in taking the “obligatory” picture. You can see that we had a very good spirit. However, this is not a meeting picture it is more the closing group leaving the building as the last
