Drawing on a positive approach, and learner-centred didactics, this workshop discusses innovative ways to tailor research integrity for different target groups, from secondary school students to senior researchers. These approaches are complementary and foster cumulative learning.</p> <p>The first part of the workshop is based on the results of the Path2Integrity project and addresses the needs of secondary school students, under- and postgraduates, and early-stage researchers. Students are asked, in a dialogical argument-based approach, what research integrity means to them - encouraging quick comprehension and internalization.</p> <p>The second part focuses on interactive approaches, developed by the VIRT<sup>2</sup>UE project, to train research integrity trainers and foster scientific virtues in researchers (junior and senior). This virtue-based approach is particularly appropriate for developing a professional ethic. Participants will experience an example exercise that encourages researchers to reflect on what it means to be a ‘good’ researcher doing ‘good’ research, and how norms underpin codes of conduct.</p> <p>In the third part, the moderators share their experiences about how to adapt educational materials to different settings, giving special attention to challenges researchers from LMICs face.</p> <p><strong>Intended audience</strong></p> <p>Research integrity and research ethics trainers and teachers, curriculum developers, department and faculty heads, and research policymakers.</p> <p><strong>Moderators and contributors</strong></p> <ul> <li>Dr. Tom Lindemann, European Network of Research Ethics Committees (EUREC Office)</li> <li>Prof. Dr. Julia Prieß-Buchheit, Coburg University</li> <li>Mr. Simson Mwale, Symposium of Episcopal Conferences of Africa and Madagascar (SECAM)</li> <li>Dr. Panagiotis Kavouras, National Technical University of Athens</li> <li>Ms. Giulia Inguaggiato, Amsterdam UMC</li> <li>Dr. Fenneke Blom, Amsterdam UMC</li> </ul> <p><strong></strong></p> <p><strong></strong></p> <h3><strong>Exploring Approaches to Responsible Conduct of Research Training Programmes</strong></h3> <h5><span style="color: #ff6600;">Date: Sunday, 29 May 2022 Time: 09:00 - 12:00</span></h5> <p>The workshop will offer a space for thinking about and exploring how different places have set up (or are setting up) RCR training programmes. The aim is to offer perspectives from a variety of contexts (institutions, regulatory environments and maturity of programmes) to give participants as broad a view as possible. The workshop would also offer an opportunity for those in LMIC (or other resource-limited contexts) to be introduced to ideas that could translate into or, be adapted to work in their own settings.</p> <p>The intention is for the workshop to act as a catalyst for LMIC participants to think about how to go about setting up their own RCR programme in a way that is relevant to local contexts and meets their specific needs whilst being aligned with international best practices. It is also an opportunity to think about available resources which could be used/adapted in building their own programme etc… The goal would be to get participants thinking about: What steps they would need to take meaningful steps towards a context- and resource-relevant RCR programme.</p> <p><strong>Intended audience</strong></p> <ul> <li>People tasked with establishing institutional, local, or national RCR training programmes</li> <li>People in the early stages of developing an RCR training programme</li> <li>People seeking guidance in making sure their RCR programme is context-relevant.</li> </ul> <p><strong>Moderators and contributors</strong></p> <ul> <li>Mrs Paula Saner, University of Cape Town</li> <li>Dr De-Ming Chau, Universiti Putra Malaysia</li> <li>Prof Ana Marušić, University of Split School of Medicine, Croatia</li> </ul> <p><strong></strong></p> <p> </p> <h3><strong>Introducing photovoice as a qualitative, participatory research methodology</strong></h3> <h5><span style="color: #ff6600;">Date: Sunday, 29 May 2022 Time: 09:00 - 12:00</span></h5> <p>Photovoice (PV) is a visual anthropological and participatory research method (PRM) where participants create research “content” in the form of photographs, guided by the facilitators.</p> <p>The first part of the workshop will focus on the theory and methodology behind PV. The second part puts the theory into practice, using ‘diversity in RI’ as the study theme. Participants apply what they have learnt in the first part of the workshop to create photographs to “answer” the study question concerned. A narrative accompanies each photo. In the second part, photos and narratives are analysed through a selection, contextualization and categorization process guided by the facilitators. In this way, participants identify and represent issues of importance to them and provide their interpretations on the subject, thereby stimulating critical dialogue and reflection.</p> <p>PV is useful in visualizing individuals’ perceptions associated with the study theme. It can generate unexpected results, beyond the dominant narrative. As such, it is a novel and useful way to get first explorative insight on how diversity is viewed within the field of research integrity. At the end, participants will have both the theoretical understanding and practical application of how they can use the method in their own research.</p> <p><strong>Intended audience</strong></p> <p>Participants of the WCRI who are interested in learning a participatory research method such as photovoice which can then be used in their settings for teaching or research on RI.</p> <p><strong>Moderators and contributors</strong></p> <ul> <li>Karijn Kakebeeke, Visual Anthropology and Storytelling</li> <li>Gowri Gopalakrishna, National Survey on Research Integrity</li> <li>Fenneke Blom, Amsterdam UMC</li> </ul> <p> </p> <p> </p> <h3><strong>Positive research integrity governance: How to support and empower researchers</strong></h3> <h5><span style="color: #ff6600;">Date: Sunday, 29 May 2022 Time: 09:00 - 12:00</span></h5> <p>Research misconduct scandals highlight the need for research governance to hold both researchers and research organizations accountable, reduce misconduct, and thereby improve the trustworthiness of research. However, existing frameworks of research integrity (RI) governance have been criticized for hindering RI by unnecessarily increasing bureaucracy,<sup> </sup>and showing mistrust in researchers, without addressing a major root cause of breaches of RI – the perverse incentives present in the system of science (e.g. publication pressure). This is compounded by the feeling that RI governance inappropriately imposes Western biomedical standards on research in different countries and disciplines. Therefore, there is a need to refocus RI governance beyond compliance with RI standards, and towards supporting and empowering researchers i.e. by providing them with the right research environment, conditions and support tools.</p> <p>In this workshop, we will use interactive and playful co-creation methods to engage participants – policy officers and research leaders – in exploring how to create a positive RI governance framework focused on supporting and empowering researchers across different geographical contexts and disciplines to do research with integrity.<strong style="font-size: 14px;"></strong></p> <p> </p> <p><strong style="font-size: 14px;">Workshop programme</strong></p> <p>We will use a series of co-creation exercises to evoke out-of-the-box thinking in order to find innovative solutions to the current problems with RI governance and jointly develop recommendations for positive RI governance.<strong style="font-size: 14px;"></strong></p> <p><strong style="font-size: 14px;">Moderators and contributors</strong></p> <ul> <li>Krishma Labib, Amsterdam UMC, the Netherlands</li> <li>Dr. Cheluchi Onyemelukwe, Health Ethics and Law Consulting</li> <li>Dr. Angeliki Kerasidou, University of Oxford</li> <li>Dr. Daniel Barr, RMIT University</li> <li>Prof. Mai Har Sham, The Chinese University of Hong Kong</li> <li>Dr. Joeri Tijdink, Amsterdam UMC, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam</li> </ul> <h3><strong></strong></h3> <p><strong></strong></p> <h3><strong>Required Features for Image Alterations and Duplication Detection Software </strong></h3> <h5><span style="color: #ff6600;">Date: Sunday, 29 May 2022 Time: 13:00 - 16:00</span></h5> <p><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220406124610/http://stm-assoc.org/">STM</a> set up a <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220406124610/https://www.stm-assoc.org/standards-technology/working-group-on-image-alterations-and-duplications/">working group </a>consisting of various publisher representatives that developed <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220406124610/https://osf.io/xp58v/">recommendations</a> for handling image integrity issues.

Currently, there is often a lack of transparency, equity and fairness in collaborations between the global North and South, which continues to diminish trust in science.</p> <p>This 7th WCRI is the first to be held in African and wants to focus on fairness and equitability of research partnerships as an essential aspect of research integrity.</p> <p>Historical, financial and scientific resources inequalities continue to generate imbalances in research ecosystems, particularly for collaborations involving researchers and institutions in low and in high income countries. Such systematic differentials cannot be addressed using ad hoc ‘capacity building’ components in individual research projects, rather, they need systemic solutions. The Research Fairness Initiative (RFI) will be presented as a unique tool for such solutions.</p> <p>The 7th WCRI intends to generate a Cape Town Statement, focusing on fair and equitable research collaborations as a research integrity issue.

This plenary session will aim to combine the experience and research of leading African scholars to identify and define actions taken to foster research integrity in African universities. Many African universities faced public scandals due to alleged research misconduct in recent years, thus affirming a need for context-specific research integrity policies, frameworks, courses, and mentoring programmes for both academic and student researchers.</p> <p>Much work has gone into developing research ethics expertise and capacity in Africa, particularly about supporting the adequate functioning of research ethics committees. Far fewer initiatives have been taken to create programmes that foster and implement research integrity plans at universities and research institutes nationally.</p> <p>The speakers will each share their insights into what can be done in Africa and other LMIC countries to foster research integrity at their universities and countries. Ideas will be relevant to colleagues in LMIC countries as well as to all those who interact in some way often via research collaborations, with researchers working in these contexts.</p> <p>The session will conclude with the launch of the African Research Integrity Network.</p> <p><strong>Session Chair:</strong><br/>Dr Retha Visagie</p> <p><strong>Speakers:</strong><br/>Prof Amos Laar<br/>Prof Edwin Were<br/>Prof Ntobeko Ntusi</p> <p><span style="font-size: 14px;"> </span></p> <p> </p> <h3>Impact of research assessment and institutional ranking on research integrity</h3> <p><em>Mai Har Sham - The Chinese University of Hong Kong</em></p> <p><span>Research should be conducted with high quality, in an ethical, reliable and responsible manner. Many research-intensive institutions take pride in their aspiration of research excellence. The focus of many institutional strategies is on research metrics that are centred around the quantity and impact of research publications, in order to elevate the institute’s global ranking in international league tables.</span></p> <p><span>In a post-Covid-19 pandemic era, we expect an outlook of economic downturn, more severe competition for reduced research funding, as well as a retrospective trend of de-globalization. The internationally prevailing culture of adverse competition is not necessarily conducive for a high standard of research conduct. How would institutions and their researchers maintain a responsible research culture, and continue to drive research excellence? </span></p> <p><span>To address the perverse incentives for research excellence, the Hong Kong Principles (HKP) for assessment of research was drawn up in the 6th WCRI. In this session, initiatives in broadening the assessment of research and researchers, as well as the potential inclusion of responsible research indexes as institutional assessment criteria will be discussed.</span></p> <p><strong>Speakers:</strong><br/>Dr. Nandita Quaderi<br/>Prof. Arturo Molina<br/>Phil Baty</p> <p> </p> <p><strong></strong></p> <h3>How enhanced data quality can boost innovation<em></em></h3> <p>Biomedical research serves to address unmet medical needs, however success rates have been declining over the past decades. Adherence to appropriate research rigor is important to ensure trustworthy and robust data. However, evidence shows that many studies have questionable research practices and lack sufficient protection against bias.</p> <p>Strategies to increase robustness of preclinical data have the potential to accelerate innovation for the benefit of patient needs.</p> <p>Today’s research environment is characterized by dynamic collaboration networks involving academia, contract research organizations, biotech and pharmaceutical industry.</p> <p>How can we design a solution that works for all these parties, that is seen as a help rather than a burden and that is sufficiently flexible to fit the needs of various types of institutions with different levels of technology and automation?</p> <p>This is exactly the question the EQIPD consortium (European Quality in Preclinical Data) has been working on for the past 3 years.

We will share how different regions are supporting best practice, and the role that recognition and reward for open research practices can play.</p> <p> </p> <h3><strong>Research Integrity Promotion Plans: from Principles to Practice</strong></h3> <p><span><strong>Applicant: </strong>Professor Niels Mejlgaard, Aarhus University</span></p> <p>Universities and other research performing organizations need to find efficient ways to translate universal principles of research integrity, such as honesty, reliability, respect, and accountability, into practice. Appropriate organizational policies and governance arrangements should enable and empower researchers to engage in responsible research practices while avoiding box-ticking and de-motivating bureaucracy.</p> <p>The notion of an organizational ‘Research Integrity Promotion Plan’ (RIPP) tailored to the specific needs and context of the research performing organization has recently emerged as a response to this challenge. A RIPP outlines the steps that the organization takes to promote research integrity in the context of its mission and disciplinary focus.</p> <p>Currently, the use of RIPPs is advocated by different parties in the research system, including funders and research performing organizations. The contributors to this symposium will share their experiences with stimulating and implementing organizational policies to promote research integrity. Conditions for developing and implementing RIPPs may be different across countries and types of organizations, and may depend on access to resources. The symposium will discuss the aims and importance of having an organizational RIPP but also the potential barriers to successful implementation.</p> <p> </p> <h3><strong>Data publishing: Responding to emerging ethical challenges with community-driven guidelines</strong></h3> <p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span><strong>Applicant: </strong>Iratxe Puebla, ASAPbio</span></span></p> <p>The last decade has brought initiatives to promote research data sharing: funders and institutions have introduced mandates for data deposition, and data policies are increasingly common among journals. As data publishing increases, ethical challenges around datasets are arising and will become increasingly relevant in coming years. Ethical best practices have been well documented for journal publications, but such guidelines were lacking for datasets: what should an editor or a repository manager do if a dataset includes offensive or libelous information? Should journals and repositories take any steps for datasets related to publications that are later retracted? What are the expectations for data associated with a preprint? How should claims for authorship or intellectual property over datasets be handled?</p> <p>In this session, speakers bringing the perspective of journals, data managers and institutions will share their experience handling integrity cases related to research data. We will discuss the guidance and resources developed by the FORCE11 Research Data Publishing Ethics Working Group (in partnership with the Committee on Publication Ethics, COPE), and encourage feedback from the audience on the recommendations as well as on existing gaps in research integrity standards for datasets to inform the Working Group’s next steps.</p> <p> </p> <h3><strong>Implementation of the Hong Kong Principles in an African context</strong></h3> <p><strong>Applicant: </strong>Dr Sabine Kleinert, The Lancet</p> <p>The Hong Kong Principles focus on the way current research assessment criteria are potentially detrimental to research integrity and offer a framework how this can be changed. The 7<sup>th</sup> WCRI for the first time held in Africa, should explore what African and other low-income and middle-income institutions can and should be doing differently when assessing researchers. Rather than copying the widely prevalent methods for research assessment in high-income countries, there is an opportunity to take a different path. This approach guided by the Hong Kong Principles could both benefit Institutions in terms of leadership in this area and African researchers in terms of strengthening the trustworthiness and societal usefulness of research. Research should be important for local needs rather than benefitting a researcher’s career using high-income country criteria with potentially detrimental effects on research integrity.</p> <p>This symposium will look at practical steps that could be taken to implement the Hong Kong Principles in the context of low-income and middle-income countries.</p> <p> </p> <h3><strong>Networks to foster research integrity in a changing world</strong></h3> <p><strong>Applicant: </strong>Dr Christa van Zyl, African Research Integrity Network (ARIN)</p> <p>Promotion of research integrity is often dependent on individuals or small teams working in large institutions. They need opportunities for on-going learning and engagement with others to become more knowledgeable, effective and efficient in their roles. In the recent past, several networks were established to promote regional, inter-institutional and interpersonal learning in the field.</p> <p>The 4th WCRI in Brazil provided a platform for networks from different regions of the world such as ENRIO (European Network of Research Integrity Offices) and APRI (Asia Pacific Research Integrity Network) to present and discuss their work. This also served as inspiration for delegates from other regions – notably Latin America and Africa – to meet informally, and to start thinking about forming networks of their own.</p> <p>The African Research Integrity Network (ARIN) was conceived as a network to link individuals and institutions from different parts of the African continent to promote research integrity in Africa, with Africa and for Africa. It is delighted to host a symposium involving thought and network leaders from different parts of the world to reflect on the value, role and contributions of research integrity networks in developed as well as developing parts of the world at this 7th WCRI, the first to be held on African soil.</p> <p> </p> <h3>Integrity and excellence: diversifying definitions of excellence’ in research evaluation</h3> <p><span><strong>Applicant: </strong></span>Anne-Marie Coriat, Wellcome Trust</p> <p><span>Notions of ‘excellence’ have become increasingly central to research funding and evaluation,</span><span> both</span> <span>at the level of high-level strategy and in specific schemes.

Most educational programs include a focus on research integrity training for individual early-career researchers. The courses for supervisors that are available, are provided in various formats and modes across the world. In this symposium, we will consider perspectives from four different regions/countries, namely, Africa, Australia, Europe and Latin America. Of particular interest will be to consider how RCR training opportunities attend to global issues in RCR while also making provision for the issues of concern in a specific context, country or region. Against this background, the following aspects, amongst others, will be considered:</p> <p>a) Rationale for attending to RCR in postgraduate supervisor training.<br/>b) Examples postgraduate supervisor training courses with a strong RCR component.<br/>c) The RCR curriculum in postgraduate supervisor training.<br/>d) Limits and potential of different modes of RCR training for supervisors (face-to-face, online, hybrid).<br/>e) Best practices and ongoing challenges in RCR training for supervisors.<br/>f) Steps towards successful implementation.<br/>g) Evaluation of the effectiveness and impact of RCR training for supervisors.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <h3><strong>When and how to report to institutions, journals, publishers, or elsewhere</strong></h3> <p><strong>Applicant: </strong>Matt Hodgkinson, Committee on Publication Ethics</p> <p>This session will explore how and when to report issues to different stakeholders – journals, publishers, institutions, and country-level oversight bodies – building on the 2017 discussion of the <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220406124610/https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/139170v1">CLUE guidelines</a> (and the <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220406124610/https://publicationethics.org/files/Research_institutions_guidelines_final_0_0.pdf">earlier COPE guidelines</a>) and the <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220406124610/https://publicationethics.org/files/Whistleblowers_document_Final.pdf">COPE discussion document on whistleblowers</a>. What kind of tools and information are needed to report effectively, what are the barriers, and what resources are available, such as <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220406124610/https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/article-abstract/2675025">Gunsaslus et al.’s investigations checklist</a> or the <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220406124610/https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-019-03959-6">REAPPRAISED checklist</a>? How could we improve the current situation?</p> <p>The session will be moderated by Daniel Kulp, Chair elect of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE). We will hear from three perspectives – claimant, publisher, and university. Dr. Elisabeth Bik is a “figure sleuth” and whistleblower who was commended by the Maddox Prize judges in 2019 and has discussed difficulties with reporting to journals. Matt Hodgkinson has worked for three journal publishers and received many reports from whistleblowers and institutions and reported concerns to institutions, and presented a poster at the WCRI 2019 on this experience. Paula Saner is a research integrity advisor at the University of Cape Town, who often handles issues of when and how to report concerns and trains the university community in research integrity.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <h3><strong>Mentoring in LMICs: Adapting to local cultures, overcoming hierarchical structures and resources</strong></h3> <p><strong>Applicant: </strong>A.Roxana Lescano, US Naval Medical Research Unit No. 6 Peru</p> <p>This symposium aims to describe the importance of mentoring systems that reflect local resources, hierarchies, cultures and research infrastructures by providing the experiences of three different regions of the world, Peru, Kenya and Malaysia, where mentoring has not been the norm.</p> <p>Mentoring in the developed world is a long-standing tradition geared toward improving the path to the development of future cadres of investigators, even though formal mentoring training and frameworks have only existed in the last decades. Globalization of health research efforts has spread the importance of mentoring and resulted in greater interest in LMICs scientific communities. LMIC scientific communities, without a history of mentoring, have started importing systems that do not quite fit into their local infrastructures and cultures. Some of these imported mentoring practices introduce biases and apply to societies where mentoring is highly rewarded in various ways, which does not reflect LMIC cultures.</p> <p>Finally, the limited resources and support existing in LMICs prevent implementing mentoring in the models developed in high income countries, require adaptation and phased implementation</p> <h3><strong></strong></h3> <p><strong></strong></p> <h3><strong>Embassy of Good Science: Fostering Research Integrity and Research Ethics</strong></h3> <p><span><strong>Applicant: </strong>Prof. Dr. Guy Widdershoven, Amsterdam UMC </span></p> <p>Easy access to up-to-date and understandable research integrity guidance and training material is essential in a world where information is disparate and fast-changing. The Embassy of Good Science aims to provide the global community of researchers with a central go-to place for research integrity and ethics. The use of Semantic MediaWiki software enables the community to take over; researchers can exchange knowledge and support good research practices, by asking questions, providing answers, and adding content.</p> <p>In this session, stakeholders will describe and discuss their experiences with using a central wiki-based hub for research integrity and ethics education and training, and dissemination of tools and guidelines:</p> <ul> <li><strong> </strong><strong>Supporting research integrity and ethics education and training</strong></li> </ul> <p>Users will present their experiences with The Embassy to support education and training for various target groups (researchers, students, trainers).

These organizations have been proposed to generate large numbers of superficially plausible yet fraudulent manuscripts, a proportion of which are accepted for publication, likely by lower-profile specialty journals. Drivers of market demand for paper mills may include unrealistic publication quotas that are imposed upon students, academics and medical doctors, combined with systems of monetary publication rewards. This symposium will present the latest information on the possible operations and outputs from paper mills.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <h3><strong>Recent advances in research integrity</strong></h3> <p><span><strong>Moderator: </strong></span>Professor Lex Bouter,</p> <p><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220406124610/https://research.vu.nl/en/persons/lm-bouter" style="font-size: 14px;"></a><span style="font-size: 14px;">Recently more work has been conducted on understanding why research integrity problems occur and how these can be prevented or handled effectively. This plenary session presents recent advances on three important topics that are highly relevant for fostering responsible research practices and deserve our attention.</span></p> <p>The first topic is <strong>conflict-of-interest</strong> (CoI) as driver of compromised research integrity. There is consensus that substantial financial interests should be reported, but it’s difficult to define and assess non-financial COIs (e.g., strong personal, political or religious convictions). It is also unclear how CoIs should be weighted when interpreting the findings at issue.</p> <p>The second topic concerns <strong>innovative teaching methods for research integrity education</strong>. This is a rapidly evolving field that includes undergraduate and postgraduate training, but also research integrity education in high schools. Furthermore, teaching materials and train-the-trainer courses have substantially improved recently.</p> <p>The third topic concerns the recent developments and accumulating evidence on the importance of <strong>fostering reproducibility</strong> and of removing barriers to engage in replication studies, including changing the incentives for researchers, and working directly with researchers, funders, publishers and other organizations.</p> <p><strong><u></u></strong></p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p><strong></strong></p> <p><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220406124610/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSlWVwaMQ-E"></a></p></div> </div><div class="et_pb_tab et_pb_tab_8 clearfix"> <div class="et_pb_tab_content"><h3><strong>Cape Town Statement on diversity, equity and fairness in research<span> </span>contexts</strong></h3> <p>Research integrity refers to the principles and standards that ensure validity and trustworthiness of research and is integral to public trust in research and researchers. The Singapore and Montreal statements outlined principles that respectively govern individual and institutional professional conduct. However, continued inequality and power imbalance within a research context continue. Partnerships are at the heart of global science, and integrity within the entire spectrum of research partnership is integral to sustainable successful global collaborations.</p> <p>Despite the existence of the Singapore and Montreal statements on research integrity, there are still challenges regarding how to achieve equity, diversity and fairness in research, particularly (but not exclusively) within the context of collaborations between the global North and South. According to the Council for Health Research and Development (COHRED), “Partnerships are essential to deliver research and innovation for global health and partner development. Unfortunately, there is no framework, no benchmark, no standard of best practice on which to model governmental, corporate, non-profit, or academic collaborations, particularly for collaborative research involving global North and South”.</p> <p>Through a consultative process, this focus track aims at exploring the related issues of equity, diversity and fairness within the entire research life cycle, in order to develop a Cape Town Statement that provides practical and implementable steps to specifically address these issues.</p> <p><strong>Intended audience</strong></p> <p>All researchers and funders involved in research collaborations particularly in contexts where there are differences in capacity and available resources.</p> <p><strong>Moderators</strong></p> <ul> <li>Francis Kombe, COHRED</li> <li>Lyn Horn, University of Cape Town; A/Prof Center for Applied Ethics, Stellenbosch University </li> <li>Carel IJsslemuiden, COHRED</li> <li>Fenneke Blom, Amsterdam UMC</li> <li>Zoë Hamatt, <span>Z Consulting LLC</span></li> <li><span>Sonia Vasconcelos, Institute of Medical Biochemistry Leopoldo de Meis</span></li> <li><span>Roxana Lescano, Research Integrity Officer, US Navy Research Unit</span></li> </ul> <p> </p></div> </div><div class="et_pb_tab et_pb_tab_9 clearfix"> <div class="et_pb_tab_content"><p>Coming Soon.</p></div> </div><div class="et_pb_tab et_pb_tab_10 clearfix"> <div class="et_pb_tab_content"><h3><strong>Poster Walks</strong></h3> <p> </p> <p>The 7<sup>th</sup> WCRI lunchtime Poster Walks offer an interactive format for stimulating the exchange of ideas among participants. Poster Walks concern subsets of posters grouped according to topic. Moderators will lead the Poster Walks, moving from poster to poster, with each presenter pitching for 2 minutes followed by 3 minutes of discussion and questions from the audience.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Instructions for Poster</strong></p> <p>Posters should be mounted on the designated poster board in the poster area at the designated time. Maximum size of the poster is size A0 in portrait format (84.1 cm width x 118.9 cm height). Presenters are reminded to bring their printed posters to the conference venue. No printing service will be provided on site.
