When students study research integrity in a traditional way, they may learn how the subject helps them on an individual level in their own scientific projects, while still underestimating the relevance of research integrity for a knowledge-based society, both within and outside the scientific research. In order to help open this door for students into an honest, reliable, respectful, and accountable scientific community, the Horizon2020 project Path2Integrity was established in January 2019 to...

Path2Integrity has just launched the project's first public survey on the Perception of Research Integrity.  In a society marked by rapid technological change, for example with regard to big data and artificial intelligence, research and innovation are crucial. You might have heard of the term "knowledge society" in that regard. However, although it is widely recognised that research is very important, public confidence in science has been seriously undermined in...

What do Marie Curie and Bertrand Russell stand for? Both have worked for a good science for society. This turns the two scientists into figureheads for the new project "Path2Integrity".Field trials are a popular way to work scientifically. An example of autonomous driving: researchers test self-driving cars on motorways or in the city. But can a vehicle without a driver participate in public traffic without any problems? A question that is not easy to answer. A question that...

The best science communicators spend their days sweating, straining, and trying to keep their balance as they climb up and down a wobbly ladder. They engage audiences by relating scientific concepts to concrete, visceral experience along what Canadian-born linguist Sam Hayakawa termed "the ladder of abstraction." Sometimes the task lies in communicating an intellectual concept through a down-to-earth illustration at the foot of the ladder. Other times, a personal experience...

With the European research landscape rapidly changing, it is becoming increasingly essential to emphasise research integrity and to start approaching new scientific techniques in a clear and accessible way.
