In collaboration with the Finnish research community, the Finnish National Board on Research Integrity, TENK, has published the The Finnish Code of Conduct for Research Integrity and Procedures for Handling Alleged Violations of  Research Integrity in Finland 2023 (RI Guidelines). The aim is to promote responsible research practices and ensure that alleged violations are handled expertly, fairly, and with consistent criteria.

The RI Guidelines also provides the basis for the UTU's own ethical guidelines and academic misconduct handling process. Its principles support high-quality research and education, while violations of the RI weaken the scientific community's effectiveness and the quality of its results.
