Join the Global Dialogue on Research Integrity at the 9th WCRI in Vancouver, May 2026

• May 8, 2025

The 9th World Conference on Research Integrity (WCRI) will take place from May 3–6, 2026, in the vibrant city of Vancouver, Canada, bringing together researchers, institutions, funders, publishers, and policymakers from all disciplines and regions to advance responsible research practices.

Open to professionals at all career stages, the WCRI fosters a dynamic and inclusive environment through presentations, policy discussions, and networking sessions. With a strong focus on diversity, early-career support, and global collaboration, the conference will feature workshops, doctoral forums, and meet-the-expert sessions designed to equip the next generation of integrity leaders.

This edition will spotlight three critical themes:

• Artificial Intelligence: Exploring AI’s dual role in enhancing research quality while also posing new risks for misconduct and bias.
• Research Security: Addressing the balance between protecting sensitive research and maintaining openness and transparency in science.
• Indigenous Knowledge Systems: Deepening the dialogue between Indigenous ways of knowing and traditional research integrity frameworks.

In line with past WCRI events that produced influential statements like the Singapore, Hong Kong, and Cape Town Principles, WCRI 2026 also aims to deliver a major contribution to global research policy.
