Transparency does not only increase society’s trust in higher education and research. It also contributes to the success of early career researchers, and to their being part of university dialogues in the first place. Many of them enter the system as newcomers, and clear information helps them to choose, to follow the rules, to stand up for their rights and to take part in decisions. This leads to more equal access to opportunities for everyone 💬
Transparency was a key focus at the 10th Plenary Meeting of ETINED, the Council of Europe’s Platform on Ethics, Transparency and Integrity in Education, and the International Forum on Transparency in Governance of Higher Education Institutions, held on 14–16 October 2026, in Strasbourg. As a representative of Eurodoc, Norbert Bencze took part in a roundtable discussion and moderated the research breakout room.
