Join us for this public lecture about Ensuring Responsible Conduct of Research: Quality Research, Research Ethics and Research Integrity, presented by Prof Minrie Greeff.
The greater scientific community of an institution can only innovate and flourish when its members function together as a body that ensures a climate that promotes confidence and trust in its research findings. The value and benefits of the mentioned research are vitally dependent on the integrity of the research practices followed at the institution. Active adherence to ethical principles and professional standards is essential for responsible conduct of research. Active adherence in this context means the adoption of these principles and standards as a personal credo in all research practices and not simply accepting it as impositions by rule-makers. A scientist needs to develop a strong sense of ethical responsibility to apply at every stage of the research process. Research ethics is seen as a subset of research integrity but is often confused as being the same.
