Singapore's leading research-performing organisations Nanyang Technological University (NTU), the National University of Singapore (NUS), Singapore Management University (SMU) and A* STAR are hosting the World Conference on Research Integrity 2010, with support from Singapore's Ministry of Education and the Singapore Tourism Board.
More than 350 senior education and research policymakers, leaders of research-funding agencies, university leaders and faculty, researchers, and academic publishers from 58 countries are meeting in Singapore to discuss the key issues of research misconduct policy, responsible conduct of research, education and the promotion of professional responsibility in research. The theme of the conference, being held at Pan Pacific Singapore from July 21- 24, 2010, is 'Leadership Challenges and Responses'.
During the conference, participants will exchange views and work together to develop a set of guidelines and recommendations for promoting integrity in research on a global scale. At the end of the conference, they hope to affirm the 'Singapore Statement on Research Integrity'. This Statement is expected to serve as a benchmark statement for research integrity and a guide for professionally responsible research practices throughout the world.
Major supporters of the conference include the United States Office of Research Integrity; European Science Foundation; Committee on Publication Ethics; European Molecular Biology Organisation; International Council for Science; Japan Society for the Promotion of Science; US National Science Foundation; and the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
