Being Real About Research Integrity @ AIT, Austria

November 28-29, 2024. Hosted by AIT.

We are delighted to announce that the YEAR (Young European Associated Researchers) network will host a 2-day training event on good scientific practice with focus on how research integrity serves researchers. In addition to central topics in research integrity such as data management, authorship and publication, the course will focus on current developments including Open Science and AI. For each topic, participants will actively explore challenges and opportunities in the context of building a sustainably successful research career. The event will be organized together with AIT, and the training will be given by Sabine Chai and Teodora Konach from OeAWI.

The training will be held at AIT in Vienna, Austria, on November 28-29 2024.

This training has a maximum of 30 participants.
This international event brings the added value of networking among multidisciplinary Young Researchers, from the 7 YEAR members (AIT, RISE, SINTEF, TNO, Tyndall, VITO and VTT).

ABOUT THE TRAINERS

Sabine Chai is the managing director of the Austrian Agency for Research Integrity (OeAWI). She is a social scientist by training (PhD from University of Maryland) and has extensive experience in teaching research methods, scientific writing and dissemination skills around the world. The mission of the Austrian Agency for Research Integrity is to raise awareness for the standards of Good Scientific Practice, strengthen responsibility in research and ensure the observance of the respective guidelines. Therefore, Sabine collaborates with national and international stakeholders to foster an environment conducive to improving and protecting research integrity, conducts trainings on research integrity and related issues, and offers advising in the context of alleged research misconduct.

Teodora Konach is a researcher and trainer at the Austrian Agency for Research Integrity (OeAWI). In her role, she was leading the project-based research activities at the Agency, including the pilot studies for the EU Horizon 2020 funded project SOPs4RI and the development of strategic policies and guidelines on Responsible Open Science in the ROSiE Horizon 2020 funded project. With a background in legal, social and cultural studies, Teodora’s interests lie at the intersection of organisational and critical management studies, implementation science and research integrity and ethics. In 2023 she joined the European Association of Research Managers and Administrators (EARMA) as a project manager and research analyst. She is mostly involved in the EU funded projects, in the fields of research integrity and ethics (iRECs, PATTERN, RE4GREEN). Furthermore, she is supporting EARMA’s European Network of Ethics and Research Integrity Officers (ERION). Since 2019 Teodora cooperates as an external expert and evaluator with the European Commission’s Research Executive Agency (REA), the European Education and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA) and the Council of Europe.

While YEAR does not impose age limitations, we are focused on early-stage Researchers (10 years or less experience in Research).

Looking forward to seeing you in Vienna!
