Ethics@Illinois Seminar Series

Ethics Awareness Week has changed to Ethics@Illinois Seminar Series.

Since 2012 the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign has delivered programming to highlight the importance of issues surrounding the responsible conduct of research and contributing to the campus dialogue on a topic that involves all students, staff, and faculty who participate in the research enterprise. Starting in 2015, the format changed to offer opportunities throughout the year for units to sponsor events of interest to their communities on Ethics Awareness.

The Ethics@Illinois Seminar Series is an initiative of the National Center for Principled Leadership & Research Ethics and is sponsored by the Graduate College and the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research, with support from the Center for Professional Responsibility in Business and Society.
