Research Ethics @NMT

Workshops series sponsored by the Office of Research

Ethics reside at the core of the research process, motivating inquiry, guiding practice, and promoting an ethos of accountability and equity. Organized by Professor Chris ChoGlueck, this series in Research Ethics aims to support and improve knowledge about ethics and create a culture of integrity, inclusion, and equity. We offer regular workshops that foster awareness and discussion and build a network of support among researchers. All are invited to participate in these conversations about ethics & integrity in our research communities at NMT.
