Proposed publication date: Spring 2012
Contact(s): jamie.arrowsmith@universitiesuk.ac.uk; 020 7419 5470
Summary: 
Universities UK has been working with the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE), Research Councils UK (RCUK), the Wellcome Trust and government departments to develop a concordat to support research integrity.

The concordat outlines five important commitments that those engaged in research can make to help ensure that the highest standards of rigour and integrity are maintained. It also makes a clear statement about the responsibilities of researchers, employers and funders of research in maintaining high standards in research.

We would like to invite comments on the draft concordat. The consultation phase, which will be open for six weeks, will close Friday 11 May 2012.
 
For more information please download the invitation to comment.
