[Training PhD students in ethics and research integrity in France in 2018]

Since 2016, the national framework for doctoral studies in France states that doctoral schools from the French universities should ensure that every doctoral student receives a training in research ethics and integrity. The doctoral schools can organize the training at their convenience. We have conducted a study among all French doctoral schools about the modalities of this training in 2018. Our inquiry shows that the doctoral schools are well engaged in this effort of training on the whole territory, and are on the verge of reinforcing it. Overall, our inquiry shows a general awareness by the doctoral schools of the importance of these topics for tomorrow research.
