The Network of Academic Solidarity and Engagement (MASA) organized on 29.9.2022. in Belgrade, a round table on the topic of professional integrity in the academic community. The participants were academician prof. dr. Vladica Cvetković, prof. Dr. Ivana Spasić, prof. Dr. Filip Eidus, prof. Dr. Dalibor Petrović, prof. Dr. Dušan Pavlović.
The first part presents the results of the MASE survey on academic integrity, followed by a research study on academic plagiarism in Serbia. The participants evaluated the scope and effects of the implementation of the Code of Ethics adopted in 2016, and discussed institutional reforms.
The participants agreed that the institutional reform should be directed towards establishing a permanent employment relationship for the assistant professor level, improving the conditions for selection into higher academic titles, the need for decisions for selection into titles to be explained, and simplifying the procedures for determining non-academic behavior.
During the fall, MASA will continue to organize round tables with the same theme in other university centers in Serbia.
