The project entitled 'Fostering Academic Integrity and Responsibility: EU Policy – FAIR' within Jean Monnet Module culminated recently in the final conference combining the efforts of international and national experts from the EU, India, Turkey, and Ukraine.
One of the primary topics addressed at the meeting was the issue of using Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools in conjunction with unfair practices. Dr Dita Dlabolova (Czechia), a leading expert at the European Network for Academic Integrity (ENAI), Dr Süleyman Kasap from Van Yüzüncü Yıl University (Turkey), and Prof Serhii Zasiekin from Lesya Ukrainka Volyn National University (LUVNU), addressed these issues in their presentations. Professors Susheel Sharma from University of Allahabad (India) and Larysa Zasiekina from LUVNU, addressed the role of moral, psychological, economic, and spiritual values in academic integrity. The presentations by Dr Olena Boika from Zaporizhzhia National University, and two other speakers from LUVNU – Professor Andrii Boiar and Dr Olena Kotys, reflected several key issues, including copyright, plagiarism, and the improvement of academic writing, reading, and presentation skills. Dr Vladyslav Kolomechiuk from LUVNU, underscored the strategic directions of ‘smart’ cooperation between the university and the city to foster responsibility and academic integrity.
The conference was met with considerable interest, with over 120 lecturers, teachers, scholars and students from higher and secondary educational and research institutions in Lutsk, Kyiv, Zhytomyr, Vinnytsia, Melitopol, Kryvyi Rih, Hlukhiv, Ostroh, Dnipro, Kherson, Lviv and Donetsk in attendance.
