Victim Support Portal
Personalized support for individuals affected by academic misconduct
About the Portal
The 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.
Anyone seeking advice on academic misconduct can confidentially ask a question and receive individualized guidance from academic integrity experts. If needed, further discussions can be held in complete confidence. Privacy and confidentiality are crucial for us, questions are visible only to the Portal admin and dedicated mentors.
This service is free of charge, and everyone is welcome to reach out for support! The Portal was created and is maintained with the support of the Erasmus+ project Facing Academic Integrity Threats, and with assistance from the European Network for Academic Integrity. The mentors are dedicated volunteers who contribute their time and expertise to uphold and promote academic integrity.
