Європейські регулятивні інструменти запобігання плагіату у вищій освіті

Abstract

The article is devoted to the consideration of European regulatory instruments for plagiarism prevention in higher education. It is emphasized that the prevention and fight against plagiarism in academic environment takes place within the framework of such international structures as the European Union (for example, Council Resolution on further developing the European Education Area to support future-oriented education and training systems 2019/C 389/01), Council of Europe (for example, Recommendation CM/Rec (2019) 9 of the Committee of Ministers to member States on fostering a culture of ethics in the teaching profession), as well as stakeholders’ international cooperation in education and science (Magna Charta Universitatum 2020, Platform on Ethics, Transparency and Integrity in Education, European Network for Academic Integrity, etc.). It is emphasized that appropriate steps are being taken at the national and institutional levels. Attention is drawn to the fact that at the national level, solving this problem is not on the list of priorities, and, consequently, progress in its solving is noticeable, especially at the institutional level. It is emphasized that achieving the maximum result is possible only by mobilizing the efforts of all stakeholders who take part in the educational process. Namely they are: the state, higher educational institutions, teachers, scholars, applicants of higher education, employers and other stakeholders. The examples of such successful cooperation include the activities of the Austrian Agency for Research Integrity, SURF and others. Emphasis is also placed on the fact that this cooperation can take place primarily in the framework of international project activities, in particular through the Erasmus + and Horizon 2020 programs (starting from 2021 it is called Horizon Europe), which are funded by the European Union and are important tools for creating common policies. Key words: academic integrity, plagiarism, regulatory instruments, higher educational institution, higher education.
