ERION is the Ethics and Research Integrity Officer Network within EARMA.

It is an open community to discuss the practical and implementation side of Research Ethics and Integrity. The community is for all those that need to ensure compliance, efficiency, functionality, fairness and robustness in the practices and processes in their organisation. Such people may have titles such as Ethics/Integrity Officer, Administrator and many others. You should have the role of a practitioner within your organisation. This event is NOT about Research in Ethics and Research Integrity.

This is not a stand alone event but it is a meeting of a thematic group which is a  community that will be in touch online and meet twice per year. We are still in the starting phase and all colleagues with the right profile are welcome to join. For any questions, please mail earma@earma.org

  • 1.      Research Ethics: focus on ethics requirements from authorities, funding agencies etc, as well as more general guidelines concerning good research practice; share knowledge on structures and requirements in different countries, specific EU requirements, specific requirements from funding agencies (both EU and outside, e.g. USA) etc.; discuss and develop adequate procedures for handling these requirements; discuss ways of communicating requirements and procedures to researchers and other staff; influence legislators, policymakers, etc. to try to prevent the issuing of disproportionate requirements that hinders important research in certain fields
  • 2.      Research Integrity: focus on research misconduct and other deviations from good research practice; share knowledge on structures and requirements, detect conflicts between different requirements, e.g. US funding agencies demands on publication of names of perpetrators in relation to GDPR; discuss how investigative procedures could be improved; discuss preventive measures; discuss detection/screening mechanisms; try to influence legislators, authorities, policymakers, etc., e.g. to prevent too much juridification of RI; discuss institutional culture, problematic incentives, working conditions of researchers etc. and what role administrators could play in doing something about all this
  • 3.      Data management & GDRP: focus on personal data but also on data management more generally; discuss GDPR compliance; share knowledge on supplementary national legislation; discuss ethical requirements in addition to legal requirements; discuss good data management as an essential part of good research practice; discuss open science requirements and the challenges it poses to certain disciplines
  • 4.      Animal Research & human experiments, access and benefit sharing and Nagoya Protocol
