More than 1,400 people from universities and research institutions nationwide preregistered in advance, indicating that there is growing interest in open science and appropriate research data management from the viewpoint of research integrity as well.

This symposium featured lectures on trends in open science, the corresponding latest developments in research data management (RDM) and research assessment reform, the impacts of generative AI and data science on research integrity, and research ethics education in an environment undergoing these changes. The topics discussed included the need for institutions and researchers to work together to build governance, how to ensure research integrity and reproducibility in the AI era, and what roles research institutions will need to play in the future. This report summarizes the key points from each lecture.
