Passer devant une commission d’éthique
Dans cet atelier, nous verrons quand, comment et pourquoi il peut être utile, nécessaire ou obligatoire de passer devant une commission d’éthique de la recherche.
|
|
L’atelier s’articule en trois parties. Dans un premier temps, nous reviendrons sur les cadres normatifs qui sous-tendent la recherche (lois, déclarations, chartes, etc.). Dans un deuxième temps, nous-nous pencherons sur le cas des commissions cantonales d’éthique de la recherche sur l’être humain, passage obligatoire pour tout·e chercheur·e travaillant sur la maladie et/ou sur le fonctionnement du corps. Finalement, nous nous exposerons les principes et procédures en vigueur au sein de la commission d’éthique de la recherche de l’UNIL.

Exportation des références Serval vers ORCID et le CV FNS
Cette formation est destinée aux chercheurs souhaitant apprendre à exporter correctement leurs notices Serval vers ORCID.
|
Par la suite, les participants apprendront comment ils peuvent enrichir leur CV FNS en y intégrant leurs références ORCID. Bien que cette intégration ne soit pas obligatoire, elle offre une nouvelle possibilité pour afficher les publications, avec l'information du compte ORCID figurant directement dans le CV généré.

Survey on the mental health and well-being of researchers - EU COST project entitled “Mental health of researchers” (ReMO)
|
As part of this project, the research team is conducting a survey on the mental health and well-being of researchers. The survey is aimed at researchers working in Europe, including Switzerland.
|
With this survey, the project team aims to create the largest ever reference on the well-being and mental health of researchers in the workplace.
|
The survey is conducted by researchers for researchers. By providing information on researchers' mental health and working conditions, we will be able to draw conclusions that will help us provide evidence and make recommendations for policy change.

Switchdrive decommissioning
The SWITCHdrive service will be discontinued at UNIL on June 30, 2024. The data stored on your computer will not disappear, but the synchronization and sharing services will no longer function. Online access will no longer be possible. We therefore urge you to migrate your data to OneDrive by following this documentation.
If you'd like more information about the reasons for discontinuing this service, please read the article SWITCHdrive decommissioning, taken from our Ci News blog.
If you have any questions or specific needs in terms of data storage, you can contact the helpdesk, which will redirect your request to the appropriate service. You can also consult our new tool for choosing the right storage service.
