The Three Needs in RCR Education

The Three Needs in RCR Education

  1. The involvement of research supervisors in the education of trainees
  2. Development and articulation of field-specific norms and practices – which requires the involvement of those supervisors
  3. Development and formulation of norms for research in engineering fields – which are quite different research environments from those in the natural science and especially from biomedicine which has been the first focus of education efforts in RCR.
