Events and Workshops

Integrity Week will be officially opened by Professor Deborah Terry AC, Vice-Chancellor and President, UQ, followed by the keynote event—a panel discussion that aims to explore how governance, ethical leadership, social license, and institutional resilience intersect with compliance pressures, and how these shape trust in higher education.

An engaging and interactive workshop designed to spark meaningful conversations about ethical dilemmas and decision-making in the workplace. This in-person training session is not just another lecture—it’s a dynamic experience driven by real-world scenarios.

All UQ researchers, teaching staff and students using live non-human vertebrates, cephalopods or crustaceans (if working interstate) require approval from an Animal Ethics Committee (AEC) prior to commencing any animal work. This session covers the legal framework and guiding policy and procedures, the ethical and guiding principles, and the process of seeking ethical approval from one of the five UQ AEC prior to starting your project. 

We're looking for staff volunteers to be part of the UQ Integrity Ambassador Network.

If you're interested in becoming a UQ Integrity Ambassador, please register to come along to meet members of the Integrity Unit at an informal morning tea and information session.

This interactive workshop explores how researchers can navigate publication pressures without compromising ethical standards. The session will examine common integrity challenges, with a particular focus on responsible authorship practices and effective research data management. Participants will gain practical guidance to support transparent, accountable, and high‑quality research.

Join us for an engaging session exploring the second phase of our research into how students and educators experience and navigate artificial intelligence (AI). Building on insights from our large-scale student survey, we share new findings from our co-design workshops, called CoLabs, where students and staff worked together to rethink academic integrity in education.

This session will provide an overview of the National Higher Education Code for Gender-based Violence Prevention and Response, and the new Safer Communities Unit.

In an era of increasing complexity and scrutiny, philanthropic decisions demand more than instinct they require confidence, clarity, and trust.

• Principles of ethical research
• Review Pathways
• The process of seeking ethical approval
• Ethics application form (HREA)
