About Us
The formation of Singapore Institutional Research Integrity Offices Network (SIRION) was announced at the conclusion of the Joint Conference on Research Integrity on 22 Oct 2018, and the first meeting was held on 11 Apr 2019.
SIRION serves as a platform for local research institutions to discuss and share best practices in order to promote the responsible conduct of research in Singapore. The Committee comprises of senior representatives from all local autonomous universities and healthcare clusters with observers from key funding agencies, thereby serving as a point of reference and advisory on matters of research integrity for participating institutions and other stakeholders locally. SIRION hopes to develop the local research integrity climate by creating a uniform and transparent approach in the handling of research integrity matters whilst keeping the research community up to date in relation to current and emerging global standards, practices and initiatives.
The establishment of SIRION in 2019 was highlighted in a Nature News article here.
