Panel Discussion: Open, Honest, Excellent? The State of Science Integrity
This panel invites its panelists and the audience to reflect on challenges faced – in particular, by young researchers – related to scientific integrity, publishing, transparency in research and quality research practices.
These can be especially acute when considering elements such as career pressure and expectations for early-career researchers.
The panel will examine some efforts that have previously been undertaken to ensure science integrity and promote principles of Open Science, as well as how these might alleviate some of the larger difficulties. The panel will further explore possible avenues by which the scientific community can realistically begin to collectively address some of those challenges, in particular how young researchers can actively contribute to such efforts.

The 12th Heidelberg Laureate Forum took place from September 14–19, 2025. #HLF25
The Heidelberg Laureate Forum (HLF) is an annual networking conference where 200 carefully selected young researchers in mathematics and computer science spend a week interacting with the laureates of the most prestigious awards in their disciplines: the Abel Prize, ACM A.M. Turing Award, ACM Prize in Computing, Fields Medal, IMU Abacus Medal and Nevanlinna Prize.
