Dear Readers,

We are appraoching you with the regular ENAI newsletter. We hope to brighten up your day with some good news, at least a little, in these difficult times. 

Let us start with few words of support for Ukraine. We stand with Ukraine and we encourage everybody - please, support Ukraine in any way you can. Financially, by welcoming refugees, or just by sending few supportive words. We also want to thank the Russians who are bravely, publicly expressing their disagreement with this war.

ENAI supports Ukraine with following symbolical steps:

One small thing that we can do is to inform people in Russia about the real situation about the war. Please, if you can, share the news with your friends in Russia. For example, you can share with them news in Russian provided by Czech news server Novinky.cz.

Call for abstract submissions for the European Conference on Academic Integrity and Plagiarism 2022 closed on 4th March. We received 85 abstracts, and 12 of them are workshops.
Right now, the abstracts are being reviewed by our team of almost 50 reviewers. Authors will receive the feedback from the reviewers before 15th March. We are sending a huge thanks to all our reviewers for their careful work!
Ssh, we heard some rumours from our reviewers that they are very excited by the abstracts. So it seems we can all look forward to a rich and interesting conference programme!

Follow the conference website, ENAI Facebook and Twitter hashtag ECAIP2022 to stay tuned for the conference news.

We are delighted to announce the 2^nd ENAI Academic Integrity PhD Summer School which is planned to be organized as a face-to-face event by Canakkale Onsekiz Mart University Centre for Academic Integrity in Canakkale, Turkey. The province of Canakkale lies on both sides of the Dardanelles and has lands both in Asia and Europe continents. Assos, an historical site in Canakkale, is known as the settlement where Aristotle opened the first philosophy school. Thus, the opening lecture of the summer school is planned to be in Assos with an additional trip to antique Troy city which is located in Canakkale as well.
 
The 1^st ENAI Academic Integrity Summer School was organized as a five-day online summer school collaboratively with Canakkale Onsekiz Mart University, Turkey; the University of Wollongong in Dubai, UAE; and Lithuanian Centre for Social Sciences, Lithuania on behalf of ENAI last year. The program included various topics from academic integrity which were delivered in two 3-hours sessions per day. The lecturers were 21 academic integrity experts from all over the world. Last year, there were over 40 participants coming from 13 different countries including Australia, Canada, Croatia, Iran, Ireland, Italy, New Zealand, Qatar, Switzerland, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, and Vietnam.
 
By means of this “Call for Proposals”, we would like to invite scholars to inform us about their interest to teach at the summer school. Since we are aiming at PhD students, we expect from our summer school lecturers to hold a PhD degree.
 
We are planning to make the summer school “free” once again since we regard this event as a great opportunity to promote academic integrity. For this purpose, we would like to clarify that there will be no “honorarium” for the lecturers. Lecturers are expected to get funds from their home institutions or other funding sources to teach at the summer school considering their travel and accommodation expenses. We are already in contact with possible sponsors to provide some funds for a few lecturers to contribute to their travel and accommodation expenses; however, we cannot guarantee this option.
 
Should you wish to join us at the ENAI Academic Integrity PhD Summer School as a lecturer, we kindly invite you to submit your proposal before the 24^th of March 2022 via this web-based form. The ENAI Academic Integrity PhD Summer School 2022 Organizing Committee will confirm the lecturers and the programme depending on available funds and the topics covered. The summer school programme and the confirmed lecturers will be announced at the European Conference on Academic Integrity and Plagiarism 2022 and PhD students will be invited to apply for the summer school.
 
On behalf of the ENAI Academic Integrity PhD Summer School 2022 Organizing Committee, we would like to thank you for your interest in our summer school.

The funding for projects continue and extends the current activities of ENAI. The outputs such as the policies, guidance and training materials will be available for everyone on the ENAI website and in the database of educational materials. The initial works on the web-portal for support for victims of academic misconduct have already started. The portal will be officially launched and introduced on the conference in Porto.

We are excited to announce the successful application to receive funding for the University of Wollongong in Dubai project titled: Gamifying academic integrity values to shape students into future responsible citizens.
The multi-disciplinary team lead by dr Zeenath Reza Khan is made up of colleagues from UOW Malaysia KDU, UOW: University of Wollongong, Australia and ENAI's Gamification Working Group members!!
Read more about our and other successful projects here.
The project aims to create a game-based system (GBS) to educate students on academic integrity values. This educational GBS will not only be engaging and student-centred, but will also ensure that learning objectives on the importance of integrity are met.

The ROSiE project (Responsible Open Science in Europe) is looking for cases exemplifying ethical challenges and dilemmas related to Open Science. Please help them by sharing your stories!

The ROSIiE project is coordinated by the University of Oslo. One of the project partners, University of Tartu has created an online platform where case descriptions can be shared with the ROSiE project. The call for cases is open to anyone who has experienced, heard or read about particular challenges in Open Science practice. ROSiE is specifically interested in examples of ethical dilemmas, conflicts of value, disagreements or problems in the context of Open Science for which it seemed difficult to find a solution. The collected cases will be used to develop training materials on Open Science for researchers, students and citizen scientists, as well as to create an open-access online resource. 

 

Case descriptions can be submitted via this website. The website also provides further information on the background of the study. It is possible to submit cases anonymously, and non-anonymous case descriptions will be anonymized before publication.

We will approach you with the regular newsletter in two months. If you want to share with us, and with other recipients, any interesting news from your country or some curiosities from the area of academic integrity, we will welcome your contributions. Please send them to info@academicintegrity.eu.
Feel free to share the newsletter with your friends and colleagues, or send them this subscription link, the newsletter is open to everyone!
