Scientific integrity is an important topic of Amsterdam UMC’s research policy. Since the AGEM institute highly values this theme as well, the institute aims to contribute to fostering responsible research practices in whatever ways it can.

Responsible research dinner debate

In order to work on a research environment that promotes and guarantees responsible research practices, AGEM and Amsterdam UMC Research Policy Office (RPO) launched a new event on December 7, 2022: the Responsible Research Dinner Debate (Diner Pensant). Read more on the page Other AGEM events.

Mentoring program

During the Amsterdam UMC research institute-wide mentoring program, several thematic meetings are organized. In the 2023-2024 edition, a scientific integrity workshop was organized. Email the mentoring program if you are interested in the matters that were discussed via mentoringprogram@amsterdamumc.nl.

Other iniatiatives

Several Amsterdam UMC departments, affiliated to AGEM, have already implemented new initiatives to focus on scientific integrity. The Tytgat Institute of Liver and Intestinal Research, for instance, regularly organizes Dilemma Games (modelled after the initiative from Erasmus MC). And in the Endocrine Laboratory, monthly meetings are organized for technicians, PhD candidates and master students to discuss research and ethical issues.
