Responsible conduct of research: Navigating challenges and handling misconduct

What happens when participant privacy is breached or you encounter other misconduct?

Join us to unpack some of the most serious ethical challenges in research, including when data is breached, participants are harmed, and funds are misused. Using real-world examples, we’ll examine what went wrong, what could have prevented each crisis, and what researchers did to make it right.

You’ll learn how researchers and institutions can recognize the risks, respond to incidents, and strengthen their approaches to research management. We'll cover key responsibilities around data security, institutional obligations, and what Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) looks like in action.

Tune into this engaging live webinar featuring expert presentations, thought-provoking prompts, and real-world insight that will help you prevent, identify, or mitigate misconduct or breaches in your own research. Interaction happens through chat or live Q&A, so come ready to listen, reflect, and contribute.
