Why now?
New EU legislation on copyright and data protection
Development of European Research Area EU expansion Need to understand global processes Increasing inter-disciplinarity and
multidisciplinarity Increasing international collaboration Traditional self-regulating communities of
researchers are losing their force

What is the relevance of ISTs?
ISTs effect both the way that research is carried out and research content
New IST-based research tools and multiplication of information sources and delivery media make verification difficult
Digitisation of information facilitates new forms of plagiarism and blurs the boundaries between ‘published’ and non-published research
Speed of change may render traditional peer review processes too slow
Changing role of socio-economic research in EC technology policy development

Where we go next
This conference marks the launch of a wide consultation process on the draft codes
Taking account of feedback they will be consolidated into a single code of practice
Open debate about how to encourage takeup and enforcement
Publish a User’s Guide to Socio-Economic Research
Widely disseminate the code itself
