Seminar on Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR)
Research Services hosted another successful Seminar on Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) on October 12, 2026, under the leadership of Professor Danny Chan, Director of Education and Development for Research Integrity (DEDRI), together with Deputy DEDRIs, Professor Simon Young, Professor Joshua Ho, and Dr Wai Lan Tsang.
The seminar brought together over 250 participants, including professoriate staff, junior researchers, and administrative colleagues, underscoring HKU’s shared commitment to upholding the highest standards of research integrity and compliance.
This round of the seminar focused on timely issues shaping the research landscape, including the growing impact of GenAI. Professor Alice Wong, Associate Vice-President (Research), delivered the welcome speech, setting the scene for the seminar and reaffirming the University’s commitment to research integrity. We were honoured to have Professor Mike Perkins from British University Vietnam as the external speaker, who shared insights on how GenAI is reshaping different stages of the research process, alongside HKU speakers Professor Simon Young and Professor Joshua Ho, who shared insights on conflicts of interest and research data management.
A key highlight was the panel discussion on “AI, data management and accountability in research”, chaired by Professor Perkins, with panelists Professor Sir Andre Geim, Professor Joshua Ho, Professor Walter Seto, and Professor Rachel Sterken. Their discussion sparked thoughtful conversation on how researchers can navigate emerging challenges responsibly and ethically.
The seminar concluded with group discussions led by 10 facilitators from across disciplines, creating valuable opportunities for participants to exchange views and reflect on responsible research practices. Together, these exchanges reinforced HKU’s ongoing efforts to build a research culture grounded in integrity and excellence.
