Webinar “The Educational Process in Light of the New Requirements of the Law of Ukraine ‘On Academic Integrity’” at TNMU

On April 22, 2026, a webinar titled “The Educational Process in Light of the New Requirements of the Law of Ukraine ‘On Academic Integrity’” was held, with participation from academic staff and the administration of Ternopil National Medical University.

The presentation by Yevhen Nikolaiev—co-author of the Law of Ukraine “On Academic Integrity,” Candidate of Economic Sciences, and Deputy Director of the Educational and Scientific Institute “Academy of Teaching” at V. N. Karazin Kharkiv National University—was highly informative and significant.

During the event, participants became familiar with the key principles of academic culture, discussed the fundamental foundations of academic integrity, current challenges in higher education, and practical approaches to ensuring compliance in educational and research environments.

Particular attention was paid to current requirements for preparing qualification papers. In particular, emphasis was placed on the need to:
• ensure the independence of research;
• use sources correctly and adhere to citation principles;
• apply artificial intelligence technologies transparently and ethically, with mandatory disclosure of their use in academic work;
• prevent plagiarism, fabrication, and falsification of results.

The meeting became an important platform for professional dialogue and for deepening the understanding of academic integrity standards, which are an essential component of quality education and research.

Given the relevance and demand, educational activities on academic integrity at TNMU will continue, so stay tuned for upcoming event announcements.
