The Embassay of Good Science

The European Commission has launched an amazing new web site called the Embassy of Good Science that contains an amazing array of materials on research integrity and the responsible conduct of research, as well as offering training opportunities and allowing authors and educators to share their own resources with the scientific community.

They describe their mission as:
The goal of The Embassy of Good Science is to promote research integrity among all those involved in research. The platform is open to anyone willing to learn or support others in fostering understanding and awareness around Good Science.
The Embassy aims to become a unique ‘go to’ place, a public square where the community of researchers can gather to discuss ‘hot topics’, share knowledge, and find guidance and support to perform science responsibly and with integrity.
We want to focus on researchers’ daily practice. Our ambition is to collaboratively map the laws, policies and guidelines informing good practices and highlight relevant cases, experiences, educational materials and good practice examples. We will also support educators to develop training on research integrity and ethics.
