EUREC Projects: ENERI

European Network of Research Ethics and Research Integrity (ENERI)

Objectives

The “European Network of Research Ethics and Research Integrity” (ENERI) establishes an operable platform of actors in the fields of research ethics and research integrity. The fields of research ethics and research integrity combine general ethical reflections, ethics and law as academic disciplines addressing research activities, moral attitudes of researchers, normative policies of stakeholders like sponsors or funding organizations, and various ethical expectations of the civil society.

ENERI is based on existing networks, projects and infrastructures that already initiated and devel-oped important steps in sharing information, training and capacity building. Research ethics com-mittees, review boards, ombudspersons’ offices, research integrity offices and supporting struc-tures are the established bodies monitoring, accompanying and assisting the process of responsible and justifiable research. Therefore the European Network of Research Integrity Offices (ENRIO) and the European Network of Research Ethics Committees (EUREC) mutually initiated ENERI in col-laborations with experts in academic research ethics (RE) and responsible research and innovation (RRI), practitioners in training and education in research ethics, and specialists in e-communication and database design.

Outputs:

• sharing experiences: communication and exchange
• improving competence: training and capacity building
• ensuring awareness: indicators of effectiveness and certification
• enhancing interaction: harmonisation and synergies

Duration: Sep 2016 - Oct 2019
