The Integrity Committee

The Act on organisation of research ethics work obliges research institutions to create an Integrity Committee. USN has created an Integrity Committee in cooperation with Inland Norway University College of Applied Sciences (HINN). The Integrity Committee shall process and make statements about cases related to possible violations of recognised research ethics standards at both institutions.

The Integrity Committee consists of five members with expertise in research, research ethics and the law. The Chair of the Committee is an external representative and is in possession of legal competence. USN and HINN each have two members who reflect the academic breadth of the two institutions. The Committee is appointed by the Board and shall act independently of the ordinary line organisation at USN and HINN.
