Research Integrity and Governance Steering Committee

The Research Integrity and Governance Steering Group (RI&G Steering Group) brings together representatives from across the Oxford Brooks with responsibilities for research integrity and governance, to report, share good practice, and inform the development of University policy. It aims to review and coordinate University policies and procedures relating to the good governance of research and the ethical conduct of research, ensure integrity through the implementation of good research practices, and to facilitate the appropriate structures, groups, and processes for building an open research culture.
