A the Vrije Universitat in Amsterdam this month, experts and practitioners working on Research Integrity convened for the fifth World Conference on Research Integrity. I attended as part of the “Practicing Integrity” project, hosted at DPU, Aarhus University, since one of our objectives is to understand the global policy frames and their relation to the Danish context.

Amsterdam in Spring is beautiful, and the conference was unexpectedly lively – full of disagreement about definitions and priorities. The observations will form part of a working paper, research article and I came home with more ideas about possible projects than I know what to do with.
