The discussions were wide-ranging and included critical issues related to academic integrity. Attendees explored contemporary challenges such as plagiarism, research misconduct, and the ethical use of technology in academia. Furthermore, the seminar also tackled the crucial role of institutional policies, educational initiatives, and fostering a culture of honesty and integrity among students and faculty.
