General news
Questions around ethics and governance in research?
If you've wrestled with issues of ethics, compliance and governance
then Module 3 of the Future Research Leaders Program will help. The
module includes a workshop on 27 August that will be facilitated by
Associate Professor Ian Maxwell, Department of Performance Studies and
Chair of Human Ethics. This module considers responsible conduct in
research and how you can take maximum advantage of the university's
governance and compliance requirements to build research strength and
leadership.
The program is designed specifically for researchers who are new Chief
Investigators or for whom being a Chief Investigator is the next step
(key target group is level B and C researchers).
>From a participant last year
"The online/workbook aspects were excellent. Very comprehensive and well
put together. I was impressed with the 'attitude' which permeated the
materials - emphasising such concepts as the trust placed in the
individual researcher's personal responsibility that underlines the main
governance components of robust research."
