In 2015, it hosted the ENRIO Meeting in Athens, Greece.Ī third initiative was taken by the Greek government. RCR-Greece became a member of ENRIO in 2014. The network is free for all from the scientific community: its members are researchers, professors, scientists and professionals. It addresses to research institutions, scientists and (under) graduate students. The initiative was taken by 5 researchers of different universities (forming the Board of Directors). ![]() Its aim is to foster research integrity and responsible conduct of research, focusing on education and training of scientists of all disciplines, organising and giving lectures in these fields. In that year, RCR-Greece, Network of Responsible Conduct of Research in Greece, was voluntarily established and legally based as a non-profit organisation. All public research institutions can become a participant of the network.Ī second initiative was taken in 2014, again by a network. At present, EARTHnet has 15 participants including the largest universities in Greece, the National Bioethics Committee, the Biomedical Research Foundation Academy of Athens, the National Hellenic Research Foundation and the National Center for Science and Research. Consequently, the NTUA took the initiative to broaden its research ethics committee, estsablishing a Committee for Research Ethics and Research Integrity, covering all disciplines. In line with this, EARTHnet focused on research ethics and research integrity in all disciplines. The network’s tasks are to (i) raise awareness among the Greek academic community on research ethics and research integrity issues (ii) promote the institutionalisation of a national code of conduct for research (iii) promote the establishment of a national committee on research ethics and research integrity, and (iv) disseminate the latest developments at the European level, and beyond, to the Greek stakeholders. NTUA already had an understanding of ethics on the fields of Natural Sciences and Engineering, as well as on nanoscience and nanotechnology. The initiative for this network was taken by the National Technical University of Athens ( NTUA). EARTHnet became a member of ENRIO in 2014 and participates in meetings and conferences worldwide in the field of research ethics and research integrity. In that year, EARTHnet, A leading network for research ethics and research integrity, was voluntarily established. The first initiative was taken by a network in 2008. ![]() Initiatives have been taken in order to establish a national institutional framework for research ethics and research integrity for all disciplines whereby the EU plays an important (indirect) role: initiatives haven been undertaken partly in meeting the standards on research ethics and research integrity of the EU in obtaining funding for research. Initiatives for the establishment of a national (institutional) structure for research integrity The procedures followed at an institutional level are described by each institute’s internal Code of Conduct. On the local level, cases of research misconduct are handled by ad-hoc committees of Research Performing Organisations (Universities and Research Institutions). Greece does not (yet) have a national (institutional) structure for research integrity. Country Report Greece National Research Integrity Landscape
