Research Integrity, Power Dynamics and Safe Institutional Culture:
ENRIO 2025 Congress on Research Integrity Practice

The ENRIO 2025 Congress in Ljubljana will continue the newly established series of biennial events addressing research integrity practice (RI) and the development of responsible research in Europe. ENRIO 2025 is organised by the European Network of Research Integrity Offices (ENRIO) and University of Ljubljana, Slovenia.

The Congress is aimed at all experts in research integrity and research ethics, RI officers and practitioners, members of ethics and investigation committees, representatives of research funding organisations and sponsors, and all interested and involved in the enhancement and sustainable implementation of good RI practices and policies.

Thematically, the Congress will emphasise power dynamics in research and institutional responsibility to foster an open, safe and inclusive research environment as a foundation for RI in everyday practice. In a broader global context, this also implies the recognition of fairness, equity and diversity as essential components of RI, as outlined in the Cape Town Statement of 2022. Contributions will reflect the range of challenges, as well as practical and emerging solutions for prevention and awareness raising.

A multi-stakeholder Unconference to improve research culture and practice

The RRiA Unconference 2025 invites you to step out of the traditional conference format and into an interactive, team-based environment focused on how research is done.

Join us from September 22-24, 2025 in Berlin.

We will work in interdisciplinary teams to discuss various aspects of responsible research and co-create actionable solutions for current issues. Whether you're driven to improve research culture, want to rethink how science is evaluated, or design new models of funding and collaboration — this event is for you!

This is a unique opportunity to work alongside different stakeholders from the research ecosystem on practical change projects. We won't just talk about improving research practice, but help build it.

An Unconference is a participant-driven, interactive, unconventional meeting designed to maximize informal exchanges and stimulate discussions that typically occur during networking breaks at traditional conferences. At the RRiA Unconference, instead of listening to presentations, you’ll learn from conversations and activities, while working hands-on and collaborating with a team towards a defined goal.

In order to facilitate this interactivity, this event is in-person only. The working language is English.

The right to participate in & benefit from science

From 16 to 18 October 2025, this Conference will bring together policymakers, IGO representatives, researchers, scholars, librarians, publishers, and civil society, and will convene online and at the United Nations University (UNU) in Tokyo, Japan. It will serve as an urgent call to accelerate transformations in science and scholarship in alignment with actions 28-33 of the Pact for the Future, to map progress in national and international efforts towards opening the record of science, and to inspire collaborative actions and coalitions to expedite progress ensuring no country, community, or individual is left behind.

The event will be organized by the United Nations Dag Hammarskjöld Library of the Department of Global Communications, in collaboration with the Department of Economic and Social Affairs, Division for Sustainable Development Goals, and UNESCO’s Division of Science Policy and Capacity-Building.
