Research Ethics and Integrity: Is it all about compliance and reputation?

There has been considerable resistance in the academic community to increasing institutional oversight of research ethics and integrity over the last few years. Much of the resistance to ethics and integrity in HE arises because of the way in which institutions implement administrative systems to approve and regulate research activity. This seminar will explore the tensions between ethical research practice per se the expectations of research ethics and integrity policy makers and the implementation of policy and administrative procedures in HE institutions. How should we best navigate between ethical practice and compliance?
