STM Innovation & Integrity Days 2026
Join us in London for STM’s Innovation & Integrity Days, where we explore the breakthroughs transforming scholarly communication — and look closely at the latest trends, approaches, and innovations in research integrity. This two-day event runs on 8–9 December 2026 at BMA House, London, bringing together publishers, innovators, researchers, sleuths, funders, and allied organisations working to advance trusted research.
Join us for both or one of the following days:
STM Innovator Day · 8 December
Kick off Innovation & Integrity Days with our annual Innovator Day. Meet the people building what’s next — innovators and trailblazers presenting the technologies and ideas reshaping how we advance trusted research. It’s an energising way to close out 2026 and seed ideas for the year ahead.

- Plenary presentation: an inspirational opening to set the tone for the day
- Panel discussions with experts on today’s key issues
- Lightning talks: quick, high-impact pitches and live demos from a curated set of innovators, each showcasing solutions to advance trusted research
- Interactive fair: explore the floor, meet innovators directly, and dig into the tools and services that catch your eye
- A poster session where publishers present their cases studies, new findings and innovative approaches in research integrity
Who should attend:
- Publishing teams: whether your focus is technology and innovation, platform or data management, research integrity, or editorial
- Technology-driven organisations: connect with fellow innovators and find the collaborations that move your work forward
