THE ORIGIN, OBJECTIVES, AND EVOLUTION OF THE WORLD CONFERENCES ON RESEARCH INTEGRITY

Abstract

The World Conferences on Research Integrity (WCRI) have grown over the past decade from a proposal to convene a joint U.S.–European conference on research integrity into a global effort to foster integrity in research through research, discussion, the harmonization of policies, and joint action. Over the course of the first four WCRIs, held in Lisbon, Portugal, in 2007; Singapore in 2010; Montreal, Canada, in 2013; and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in 2015, participation has grown from 275 participants from 47 countries in 2007 to 474 participants from 48 countries in 2015. The WCRIs have produced two global statements on research integrity: the Singapore Statement in 2010 and the Montreal Statement in 2013. In addition, three sets of proceedings and numerous papers and working reports archived on the WCRI website (www.researchintegrity.org) are available. The WCRI effort celebrated its tenth anniversary at the Fifth WCRI in Amsterdam, May 28–31, 2017. A total of 836 participants from 52 countries attended.
