[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Song Jong-gu] The Research Ethics Center at Gyeongnam National University was recently selected for the Korea Research Foundation's '2022 Research Ethics Activity Support Project New Tasks.'

This project was established to promote research ethics and establish a trusted research culture through support for research ethics education activities.

Among the six open call tasks, Gyeongnam National University was selected for the task of 'Development of a Korean-style Massive Open Online Course (K-MOOC) for Research Ethics Education for University (Graduate) Students.'

The project will be conducted for about six months until January 19, 2023, and Gyeongnam National University will receive a total research fund of 60 million KRW.

With this, the Research Ethics Center at Gyeongnam National University will actively develop courses on 'research ethics,' which have never been covered in Korean-style Massive Open Online Courses (K-MOOCs), under the vision of 'realizing the establishment of desirable research ethics awareness through the distribution of premium research ethics lecture content.'

The upcoming Korean-style Massive Open Online Course will include content to enhance understanding of 'research ethics,' the ethical principles to be observed to promote desirable research with responsible attitudes throughout the entire research process, such as planning, conducting, and reporting research.

Director Heo Yu-seop of Gyeongnam National University said, "We will do our best to develop courses that pursue truth as the purpose of academic inquiry, protect the integrity of scholarship and the health of the university community, and help students grow as ethical intellectuals."

Meanwhile, the Research Ethics Center at Gyeongnam National University has been conducting research ethics-related tasks since its establishment and registration of the Institutional Review Board (IRB) in September 2013, followed by the integration with the Animal Ethics Committee and the Research Integrity Committee, and its reorganization into the Research Ethics Center in 2015.
