2025 refreshed Concordat to Support Research Integrity – UKCORI

The launch of the 2025 refreshed Concordat to Support Research Integrity following detailed review and consultation across the sector by the Research Integrity Concordat Signatories (RICS) Group.

Now hosted by the UK Committee on Research Integrity, the Concordat has provided a vital national framework and reference document for practice and governance of research integrity in the UK since 2012, and the review aimed to ensure that it retained its relevance and application in today’s fast-moving environment.

Alongside the refreshed Concordat, is the review of the Concordat document summarising the consultation undertaken and the changes that were made in response. The Concordat is being launched now, but organisations have until April 2026 to adhere to the new expectations, including those related to annual statements.
