The 8th World Conference on Research Integrity engaged all disciplinary fields, all professional ranks, and all career stages, and involve all stakeholders in research integrity, including universities, research institutes, research funders, publishers, and governments.
Conference theme
The overarching theme of the 8th WCRI was 'Catalysing the translation of research into trustworthy policy and innovation.'
While each WCRI emphasises a specific theme, all cater for the whole range of research integrity issues and responsible research practices. The driving forces of the individual and collective behaviour of researchers that influence research integrity receieved substantial attention. Specifically, these driving forces concern the skills and virtuousness of the individual, the local research climate, and the incentives of the research system at large.
