Committee for Scientific Integrity of Universities of the Arts online
Universities of applied science are responsible for higher vocational education, and also increasingly acting as knowledge institutions. The practice-based research that is conducted at these institutions, must comply with high quality standards. Therefore, the Netherlands Association of Universities of Applied Sciences adopted the policy to implement the Netherlands Code of Conduct for Research Integrity (NGWI, October 2018) at all Universities of Applied Science.
The seven monosectoral universities of the arts also adhere to the norms of this code of Conduct. Amsterdam University of the Arts, ArtEZ, Codarts, Design Academy Eindhoven, HKDH, HKU and Rietveld Academie established a collective Committee for Scientific Integrity (CWI-KUO) for the arts education per 1 January 2023. This committee has the task to process any complaints concerning integrity. The cooperation between the seven universities of the arts ensures that the expertise in practice-based research in the arts is properly and broadly represented.
