- Types of plagiarism and effective prevention measures
- Implications of funding pressures (research assessment, politics, accountability) for research integrity and the research funders’ perspective
- Research integrity in European countries without a national system: experiences and directions forward
- Ethical review in the humanities and arts
- Discipline-specific issues of research integrity
- Research integrity and the ethics and ethical standards of Artificial Intelligence
- Research integrity in innovation and corporate collaboration
- Responsible research communication, scientific publishing and authorship issues

We are excited to welcome research integrity officers, directors of research in higher education and research performing organisations, representatives of funding organisations, members of ethics committees, other experts in the field of research integrity and research ethics, and researchers from all over the world who have an interest in the responsible conduct of research.
The ENRIO 2020 Congress on Research Integrity Practice is organised by the European Network of Research Integrity Offices (ENRIO), the Finnish National Board on Research Integrity TENK and Aalto University, Finland.
Submission Guidelines
The call for papers is open for the following categories:
- Presentations of research papers
- Presentations of European research and development projects
- Workshops
1. We welcome research presentation abstracts on the following topics:
- European data protection laws, research and research integrity practices
- Open science and research integrity
- Types of plagiarism and effective preventive measures
- Research integrity in interdisciplinary projects
- Intersections between research ethics and research integrity
- Conflicts of interest in research
- Authorship issues in scientific publishing
We are particularly interested in problem-solving presentations that propose practical solutions to clear challenges. PhD students and early-career researchers are especially welcome to submit abstracts of their work. Please note that the call is by no means restricted to researchers working in Europe.
2. We also offer a platform for European research and development projects to introduce their work. The projects can be in their initial stages, in progress or already completed. The abstracts for project presentations should include a description of the project, its relevance to research integrity practice, and the expected or achieved outcomes of the project.
Word limit for research abstracts and project presentation abstracts: 350 words, not including references.
3. Workshop proposals may draw from the general topics of the congress, but we consider all proposals that relate to research integrity practice. The workshops should engage the participants in an genuinely interactive way and increase the participants' knowledge and understanding of the topic at hand.
The abstracts for workshop proposals should include the motivation behind the workshop, its relevance to research integrity practice, intended learning objectives, and a brief description of proposed interactivity. The organiser of the workshop must be identified.
Workshop length is 90 minutes (unless otherwise agreed). Instructions for the approved workshops will be posted on the congress website.
Word limit for workshop abstracts: 500 words, not including references.
All proposals must be submitted and presented in English.
