Research Ethics
We facilitate frameworks for advancing the highest standards of ethics in research.
Upholding ethical standards is vital for research and innovation excellence. With our expertise, we develop effective frameworks for integrating research ethics along the principles of Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI), ensuring fairer and more impactful research outcomes for society and the environment.
With expertise spanning diverse fields, we offer research ethics support to scientific structures and EU-funded projects. Our role includes developing ethical frameworks, conducting reviews, and providing guidance to address ethical challenges arising from research and innovation activities. As such, we assist in ensuring compliance with ethical regulations and integrating ethical considerations into project design and implementation. Working in close collaboration with partners, we offer solutions that meet the specific needs of any initiative. This way, stakeholders can focus on advancing science while upholding the highest ethical standards in their work.
We lead the implementation of an analytical framework to monitor ethics throughout EU-funded project ENFIELD, working towards trustworthy and green AI.
