Science & Innovation Integrity
Strengthening Trust in Science and Society
In the face of growing misinformation and fake in science and technology communication, the mission of Sciii gGmbH – a non-profit, charitable organization – is to promote research, development and education to fight the attack of fraudsters against trustworthiness of our knowledge-based societies in science, health care, technology, innovation, environment and security.
At Sciii, we aim to raise awareness of science integrity concerns and the current science publishing crisis and to develop practical solutions to address it.
