The Lebanese National Council for Scientific Research (CNRS) held the ceremony of signing the Charter of Ethics and Guiding Principles of Scientific Research in Lebanon on July 15, 2016 in the Government House in the presence of His Excellency Lebanese Prime Minister Tammam Salam.
RHU President, Dr. Riad Chedid, signed it for Rafik Hariri University. RHU was among 19 universities in Lebanon signing this Charter as a commitment to adopting it and using it as a guide for development of detailed policies aiming to protect the transparency and credibility of scholars and researchers involved in scientific research.
CNRS conducted this project and developed the text of this Charter inspired by several references adopted internationally by research centers and academic institutions.
