World research integrity conference comes to Africa
Cape Town, in South Africa, will host the seventh World Conference on Research Integrity in 2021.

The proposal for Cape Town to host the meeting was fronted by the African Research Integrity Network and the University of Cape Town. ARIN’s co-chair, Francis Kombe, who attended the Hong Kong meeting, told Research Africa that he hoped holding the conference in Africa would boost African participation.
