Sounding Board Integrity

Become a high-skilled geospatial professional

Open, safe, responsible, accountable, diverse, and inclusive academic and workspaces, culture, and practices.

At the ITC Faculty, the Sounding Board Integrity was created in 2021 to promote and support actions for the existence of open, safe, responsible, accountable, diverse, and inclusive academic and workspaces, culture, and practices by/for all members of the ITC community (i.e., students, academic, and support staff).

SOUNDING BOARD INTEGRITY 

The ITC Sounding Board Integrity's (ISBI) first-year work has resulted in the first ITC’s Integrity Action Plan focusing on scientific and social integrity (for the latter, specifically on social safety). The ITC Integrity Action Plan aims to define and implement strategies and instruments to assess the ITC community’s current integrity status and the most pressing issues while carrying out direct concrete actions to enhance integrity @ITC. There are plans for a survey as our assessing instrument, perhaps focus groups and discussion spaces, training workshops, and the definition of (institutional) communication spaces to discuss our findings and progress at the faculty level.

If you have questions about the ITC Integrity Action Plan, or in general, comments or suggestions about integrity at the faculty, please feel free to contact us at integritysb-itc@utwente.nl

  • Guiding working questions

    Guiding working questions

    -          On scientific integrity:

    o   What steps does ITC need to take to promote scientific integrity in the context of ITC’s mission, vision, and disciplinary focus?

    -          On social integrity:

    o   What are the lessons learned from the Active Bystander Training? What else is needed to make ITC an open, safe, and inclusive environment where everybody feels welcome and safe? This also has to do with diversity.

Meetings frequency

The ISBI members agreed on meeting on a bimonthly basis with activities recess due to holidays from mid-June until mid-August, and mid-December to mid-January, every year.
