Overview

The Faculty of Tropical Medicine, Mahidol University, is honored to host the Asia and Pacific Rim Research Integrity (APRI) Network Meeting 2025 as a Pre-Conference event of JITMM 2025. It will take place on 1 December 2025, at the Eastin Grand Hotel Phayathai, Bangkok, Thailand. APRI 2025 is supported by the National Research Council of Thailand (NRCT).

This year’s meeting will focus on the emerging challenges of research integrity in the context of artificial intelligence (AI), the ethical use of genomics data, open science, and the need for regional collaboration to strengthen integrity systems across Asia and the Pacific.

Science is advancing rapidly, especially in areas of AI, genomics, and big data. This meeting offers a crucial opportunity for open dialogue and regional collaboration. Together, we aim to develop practical strategies to keep research trustworthy, inclusive, and ethically responsible in a global context.
