The European Code of Conduct for Research Integrity (hereafter named the "European Code of Conduct"), published by the European Federation of Academies of Sciences and Humanities (ALLEA), serves the European research community as a framework for self-regulation across all scientific and scholarly disciplines and for all research settings. The latest revision of the European Code of Conduct was released in June 2023 and takes account of the latest social, political, and technological developments, as well as trends emerging in the research landscape. These revisions took place in the context of the EU-funded TechEthos project, with the aim to also identify gaps and necessary additions related to the integration of ethics in research protocols and the possible implications of new technologies and their applications. In addition to extensive input from within the ALLEA community, detailed feedback from 31 stakeholder organisations and projects was considered during the revision of the European Code of Conduct. As part of this stakeholder consultation process, the views of the TechEthos consortium partners were collected both in writing and during an online workshop. In addition to input on broader research integrity issues, the unique expertise within the TechEthos consortium allowed for the collection of critical input on the ethical, legal, and societal aspects related to the development and application of new technologies, as well as on the responsible use of new technologies in collecting, analysing, and publishing research results. This deliverable provides a short history of the European Code of Conduct, details the revision process leading to the recently published edition, summarizes the feedback from the TechEthos consortium and implementation thereof, and describes current and ongoing communication and dissemination activities.
