4th International Conference: Plagiarism Across Europe and Beyond 2018
The international conference Plagiarism Across Europe and Beyond aims to be a forum for sharing best practices and experiences by addressing issues of academic integrity. The conference brings together several prominent names in the field of academic integrity from all over the world. With regards to the crucial role of ethics and honesty in academic work, universities are in need of more effective policies against infringements of academic standards. The conference therefore aims to contribute to the standardization of consistent and transparent approaches to issues of academic integrity from several perspectives, such as detection and prevention of plagiarism, the impact of text-matching software, types of plagiarism, teaching norms of best practice, and institutional and national standards. As academic integrity is considered to be culturally bound, standardizing policies and practices related to ethical issues requires a careful examination of several related cases from different countries. Due to its geographical location, Turkey bridges not only the continents of Europe and Asia but also various cultures, making it a perfect location for a conference that convenes researchers from all over the world. Plagiarism Across Europe and Beyond is jointly organized by Canakkale Onsekiz Mart University, Mendel University in Brno, and theEuropean Network for Academic Integrity and is co-funded by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union.

Dear Gill and Alyssa, thank you for listing the 4th International Conference Plagiarism across Europe and Beyond 2018 among Turnitin Educator Network events.
As the founder chair of the conference, Tomáš Foltýnek organized the previous three conferences under the auspices of Brno of Mendel University in Brno, Czechia as biennial meetings in 2013, 2015, and 2017. The year 2018 will mark the first time the conference is being held outside its birthplace of Brno as an annual meeting, following the establishment of the European Network for Academic Integrity as a legal body. The conference has always aimed to be a truly international forum. In 2017, the conference convened 112 delegates from 49 countries, and it seems that this will be even higher in 2018. Embracing the spirit of international cooperation, the 2018 conference organization consists of a collaborative team of academics from 22 different countries forming its committees and scientific boards. We hope to bring several prominent names in the field of academic integrity together from all over the world, beginning with our keynote speakers Tracey Bretag, Lex Bouter, and Teddi Fishman, as well as our plenary speakers Tomáš Foltýnek and Irene Glendinning.
We hope you will join us in Ephesus, Turkey this tear as your attendance at the conference would be a great honour to us. We would like to express our gratitude for your interest, and we are looking forward to seeing you soon in Ephesus.
