Research Ethics for Young Leaders: Insights from Mariëtte van den Höven

How can young research leaders embed ethics within their teams? This question was at the heart of a three-page interview with Professor Mariëtte van den Höven, published in the November 2025 issue of Universitas Tartuensis magazine under the title “Research Ethics Expert: Learn to listen, observe, and speak openly.” In the conversation, led by Mari-Liisa Parder, van den Höven highlights the importance of listening, observing, and fostering open dialogue as practical steps toward creating a culture of integrity.
