RGIT events
The Research Governance and Integrity Team runs a series of monthly workshops for staff and students of Imperial College London and Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust.
Imperial College strives to maintain the highest standard of research integrity from ethics applications (HRA, REC, ICREC and SETREC) to reporting of trial results. Imperial College considers trial transparency to be an important part of research integrity. The registration and reporting of trial results on ClinicalTrials.gov website is critical as it becomes part of public domain. Medical professionals, policy-makers and patients rely on published evidence to make health decisions. We have one-to-one virtual training sessions available for Clinicaltrial.gov and EudraCT websites.
The RGIT offers 4 courses to Imperial College staff and students.
**Due to College guidance on the COVID-19 situation, the RGIT are postponing all workshops until further notice. Please check the website for updates on workshops dates and times.**
