Call for Applications

The European Science Foundation is inviting applications to a conference on Research Integrity: Fostering Responsible Research, to be held in Lisbon on 17-19 September. Research regulations and commonly accepted research practices vary significantly from country to country and among professional organisations and this meeting therefore aims to establish a framework for continued discussion of research integrity on a global level. It is the first global forum convened to provide researchers, research administrators, research sponsors, journal editors, representatives from professional societies, policymakers, and others an opportunity to discuss strategies for harmonizing research misconduct policies and fostering responsible conduct in research. Up to 350 participants are expected. Pre-registration form is accessible on-line at www.esf.org/conferences/researchintegrity. Some financial support is available and can be requested by ticking the appropriate field(s) in the paragraph "Financial Support" of the pre-registration form.

The closing date for applications: 27 April 2007
