Achieving positive impacts of research on society and the environment requires research integrity. Principles of research integrity have been captured in many ways and, despite the fact that there is general agreement about them, it is not clear how these apply to the task of research translation. Previous work completed at the 6th WCRI focused on this challenge and revealed additional considerations that warrant exploration, such as: Do current approaches, aimed largely at producing primary research that is trustworthy, also ensure that the translation and implementation of research findings are trustworthy? What are the perspectives and roles of policy-makers and industry for trust in research and innovation processes? We want to open up a discussion between researchers from all academic disciplines, research integrity practitioners, decision-makers in SMEs and industry, and policy-makers that will highlight research integrity as an enabler of trustworthy policy and innovation. Starting from the assumption that societies are more directly affected by policy and technology, than by research per se, we will strive to extent the positive influence of research conducted with integrity to policy-making and innovation, i.e. Innovation Integrity.
