National Academic Integrity Network
What is the National Academic Integrity Network?
The National Academic Integrity Network (NAIN) is a peer collaborative network, established in November 2019 by Quality and Qualifications Ireland (QQI). To ensure that NAIN continues to support stakeholders in an effective and sustainable manner, its strategic approach encompasses a multifaceted effort across four key goals:
- Empower NAIN members to foster a culture of academic integrity.
- Provide leadership and stewardship in the field of academic integrity in further and higher education.
- Develop, collate and disseminate resources to assist all stakeholders across the sector in upholding academic integrity.
- Develop, and enhance the network by facilitating engagement and collaboration between NAIN members and relevant European and international agencies and experts.
