More information about ERION
ERION is the Ethics and Research Integrity Officer Network within EARMA. It is an open community to discuss the practical and implementation side of Research Ethics and Integrity. The community is for all those that need to ensure compliance, efficiency, functionality, fairness, and robustness in the practices and processes in their organisation.

ERION acts as a stakeholder for the European Commission DG R&I Ethics Sector. A key component of ERION are the European projects on ethics, integrity, responsible research: SOPs4RI, iRECS, PATTERN which are working for a strong responsible research integrity culture in Europe and increasing trust in science.
The community meets 2 to 4 times per year. Topics discussed in past ERION meetings included: Horizon Europe, Open Science, GDPR implementation, training (see report), ethics support in times of COVID-19, research evaluation and many others.
