• February 24, 2025

ECEIA 25 is thrilled to announce the 4th International Colloquium for Research and Action on Academic Integrity, a pivotal event dedicated to promoting integrity within higher education institutions. Organized by the Institute of Research and Action on Fraud and Plagiarism in Academia (IRAFPA) in collaboration with the European Conference on Ethics and Integrity in Academia 2025 (ECEIA 25), this online colloquium is set to take place on June 19-20, 2025. While the ECEIA 25 will host an in-person event in Sweden, this virtual gathering ensures that participants from all over the world can engage in this important conversation.

Theme: How to Implement a Culture of Integrity in Higher Education Institutions?

The focus of the colloquium is to explore strategies, research, and practices aimed at fostering a culture of integrity in academic environments. As we confront the challenges of academic social irresponsibility, the event urges us to combine research and action to address critical questions, such as:

• How do we build a culture of academic responsibility within higher education institutions?
• How can institutions measure their effectiveness in promoting social responsibility among faculty and students?
• What are the obstacles to implementing academic social responsibility, and how can they be overcome?
• How can institutions collaborate with external actors to address these challenges?
