Abstract

Research and innovation activities are a defining hallmark of higher education – informing teaching and learning and adding to the global body of knowledge. These principles detailed within the European Code of Conduct for Research Integrity (ECoC) together with good research practices are essential for promoting and safeguarding culture of research integrity in RUN-EU PLUS. RUN-EU PLUS brings together 7 regionally focused Institutions (more than 75.000 students and 8.000 staff), committed to societal transformation in their regions in the context of both new and emerging regional and global challenges, sustainable regional development and regional needs. The members have a regional as opposed to a city focus and have a proven track record in the delivery of future and advanced skills activities in teaching, learning, research and engagement relevant to societal challenges including future industry, sustainable development, environment and climate change, ageing population and social inclusion. RUN-EU through the RUN-EU PLUS coordinated support action is committed to building research capacity and scale through the development of research human capital, facilitating research activity and opportunities linked to education and enterprise with a regional orientation. Researchers are the most important asset of the RUN-EU research system.
