Within the European Union funded project “Responsible Conduct of Research - Research Integrity and Ethics in Georgian Universities” (ETHICS) GIPA – Georgian Institute for Public Affairs provided translation of the extremely important document for ETHICS community as well as for the whole Georgian research industry representatives - The European Code of Conduct for Research Integrity.
This document is an updated version of the 2017 edition of the European Code of Conduct (CoC) for Research Integrity (RI), developed by the European Federation of Academies of Sciences and Humanities (ALLEA). It is updated periodically to take account of evolving concerns and emerging areas so that it can continue to be fit for purpose in guiding the research community towards good research practice.
An effective European Code of Conduct for the research community promotes an ethical mindset. Its principles are relevant across the research system and in all disciplines and are applicable to publicly funded and private research. It can be the basis for local, national, and discipline specific policies and guidelines, and applies to existing and new research practices such as citizen science or participatory research. Each stakeholder within the research community needs to take active responsibility for observing and promoting these practices and the principles that underpin them (ALLEA, 2023).
