Launch of the Luxembourg Agency for Research Integrity (LARI)

As a founding member, LISER will assist the association in accomplishing its mission.

Luxembourg now has a national agency for research integrity. LARI – the Luxembourg Agency for Research Integrity – was formally created in 2016 and as of late September also has a committee of international experts on the topic. This week, the committee was in Luxembourg to meet Marc Hansen, Luxembourg’s Minister for Higher Education and Research.

Luxembourg’s public research institutions formally created LARI in December 2016 as non-profit association (asbl). LARI will be fully operational within the next few weeks, once the Board – Chaired by FNR Secretary General Marc Schiltz and Vice Chaired by LISER’s Aline Muller – has appointed a Secretary General.

LARI sees it as its responsibility to raise awareness for research integrity and good scientific practices in Luxembourg. It will provide its member institutions a service facility and offer independent investigations of allegations of research misconduct.
