Ethics in research

Plagiarism Prevention and Combat Strategy

The strategy for preventing and combating plagiarismsets clear objectives for an ethical conduct of the researchers and upholds the university's commitment to the ethical principles recognised by the European Charter and the Code once again. The strategy embodies highly concrete measures to raise awareness, prevent and detect plagiarism. The Career Development Framework (i.e., ACADEME) also integrates actions addressing early-stage career researchers. All the students in the Master's cycle attend the annual Ethics in Research courses included in the study programmes.

The Ethics Commission

A key role at the institutional level is played by The Ethics and Academic Integrity Commission(C.E.I.A.). This commission is a structure acting independently of any administrative interference and includes academic staff members with probity and professional recognition. On the basis of a four-year mandate, they act to maintain and promote the integrity of the academic environment.

The European Code of Conduct for Research Integrity

UPB strongly recommends The European Code of Conduct for Research Integrity ALLEA to be consulted.
