The Academic Integrity Support Portal (aka Victim Support Portal) provides expert advice, resources, community support, and guidance for individuals affected by misconduct and questionable practices in research and education.
The Portal offers a unique service: we provide personalized, tailored advice from recognized academic integrity experts. Our mentors are gathered under the European Network for Academic Integrity (ENAI), the largest academic integrity network in Europe and a global leader in the field.

The mentors are dedicated volunteers who contribute their time and expertise to uphold and promote academic integrity.
