Content is being sought from U of M researchers for a session to explore the ethics issues specific to their units for the Research Ethics Day Conference, taking place March 4. The conference is part of Research Ethics Week, which runs March 2 to 6. Options for the session conference include a wide range of topics, from professional development to best practices for promoting, modeling, and maintaining exemplary standards of research ethics and integrity. Topics could also align with the subject of the conference, “The Power and Perils of Research Data: Generating, Storing, and Sharing Data Responsibly.”
Additional assistance in preparation has been volunteered by the libraries. If a department has a topic in mind and believes the libraries can assist, it can contact its liaison librarian directly. Ideally, they would need departments to be in touch at least four weeks in advance to work out the details, reserve a date and time that works for all, and develop any needed content.
To add a session to the Research Ethics Week web page and schedule, please complete these steps by January 31, 2020:
- Decide on a topic
- Choose a date the week of March 2-6, 2020
- Find a location
- Select a time
- Determine if this event is open to outside attendees (if not, interested attendees will be referred to your event coordinator for information)
- Appoint an event coordinator
- Share the above information with Sarah Waldemar (s-wolg@umn.edu, 612-624-8349)
Perhaps most importantly, please schedule the time to attend the Research Ethics Day Conference and your unit’s session, and encourage your faculty, staff, and students to do the same.
