Where: Wereldmuseum, Leiden
We are excited to announce that the NRIN Annual Symposium 2025, with the central theme ‘Research Integrity in a Disruptive Academic Context: from AI to Academic Freedom’, will be held on 17th October 2025 at Wereldmuseum Leiden (see location here: link).
This year’s symposium will feature thematic presentations and workshop sessions designed to encourage interactive discussions, networking, and mutual learning among participants.
The symposium is a free onsite event (registration required!) open to both the Dutch and international academic communities. We invite academics, researchers, students, policy advisors, and other non-academic staff to join us at this event, which promises to spark discussions and critical reflections on pressing issues such as academic freedom, AI, trust in science, and the consequences for research integrity!
Contributions to the symposium are available only by invitation from the NRIN Annual Symposium Organising Committee. We are not accepting abstract proposals.
