Description

The BEYOND Roadmap proposes a strategic pathway for strengthening research ethics and research integrity across the European research environment by 2030. Drawing on BEYOND project findings and established European guidance, the document sets out a system-wide approach to reducing research misconduct by addressing the institutional, cultural, educational and individual factors that shape research behaviour.

The Roadmap is organised around four pillars: reforming research governance, transforming research culture, advancing research ethics and integrity education and research, and enhancing public trust in science. It combines these priorities with a phased timeline for implementation and consolidation, outlining steps that can support research organisations, policymakers, funders and other actors in building more responsible, transparent and trustworthy research systems.
