Ethical Issues. The Operator agrees to comply with all Applicable Laws and all ethical requirements imposed on it or Physicians involved in the Services and to report to AHS and all interested Professional Governing Bodies any circumstances of which it becomes aware which could involve a breach of ethical requirements by it or any such Physician.
Ethical Issues. 31.6.1 The research methodology of a given project may be subject to legislation and regulation in areas such as ethical treatment of human subjects, humane treatment of animals, storage and use of hazardous substances, and guarantees of the confidentiality for human subjects. In such cases, the research project must comply with all internal and external regulations, requirements, protocols or codes. Only research that is subject to the Humans Research Policy Statement shall require the prior written approval of the University Research Ethics Board (“REB”).

Ethical Issues. The study was done in accordance with NU GSE Ethical Guidelines for Educational Research. An oral and written permission was obtained from each of the participating schools prior to data collection procedures. All participants were selected on a voluntary basis and each of them was first acquainted with the research purpose and procedures. They were also informed about the potential risks and benefits and their rights to withdraw from the study at any time. A letter about the research and consent forms were sent via email to the principals and teachers beforehand. The participants of the qualitative part of the study benefited from the opportunity to self-reflect on their role in the educational system and to express their opinions about teacher autonomy. The participants’ perceptions and opinions about teacher autonomy and its effects on their practices will allow policy-makers and school administrators to understand what affects teachers’ motivation and job satisfaction. These reflections will help shape the new “Law on the Status of Teachers” so as to guarantee teachers more professional freedom, protection and autonomy. As for the risks, there were no sensitive questions that would put the participants in any danger. In all my records, all names were replaced with participant codes and the recorded interviews were kept in a separate folder with password protection. The participants were free to refuse to answer any of the questions, so there was no pressure on them in this regard. I also made sure that the participants were interviewed during their free time, so that they would not feel the stress of missing a class. To avoid unnecessary nervousness, the interviews were held in places selected by the participants themselves, which would usually be their own classroom. Thus, they would feel “at home” and be more relaxed and open during the interviews. Also, if any other teacher entered the room, there was no clear indication that the teacher was being interviewed for a study. As for the quantitative part of the study, the survey was done online and anonymously, so the participants did not have to identify themselves. To avoid multiple entries, the survey was set up so that each participant could only respond once. All questions were optional, so the participants had the freedom to skip any question they were not willing to answer, or to submit the whole survey without answering any questions. The data was recorded in a separate spreadsheet under a passw...
Ethical Issues. 7.1 Neither the Vendor nor any of its officers or employees who are employed in or provide services to the Business have either in private business dealings or in dealings with the public / government sector directly or indirectly given, offered or received or agreed (either themselves or in agreement with others) to offer, give or receive any bribe or committed or attempted to commit (either themselves or in agreement with others) any other corrupt act whether in the United Kingdom or elsewhere in the world.
Ethical Issues. All applicants must comply with ethical principles and relevant national, EU and international legislation such as the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the EU, the European Convention on Human Rights and the EU General Data Protection Regulation. At the stage of submitting a proposal for ASCAPE Open Call all applicants are obliged to describe the ethically relevant issues and conduct an Ethics Self-assessment starting with the completion of an Ethics Issues Table - Checklist, available in the administrative part of the application. If the applicants specify ethically relevant issues in the ethics issues checklist above, they must demonstrate how these issues will be considered and handled in the envisaged project by completing the Ethics Self-Assessment. Applicants can read further practicalities in the EU official guide in “How to complete your ethics self-assessment”. A proposal which contravenes ethical principles or any applicable legislation, or which does not fulfil the conditions set out in Decision No 2013/743/EU, in the work programme, in the work plan or in the open call for proposals may be excluded from the evaluation, selection and award procedures at any time.
Ethical Issues. NEXPReS does not believe that there are any ethical issues associated with the project after internal consideration and after referencing the Ethical Guidelines for ICT text. Appendices
Ethical Issues. The beneficiaries in this project declare that there are no ethical issues relevant to this proposal. Nevertheless, the Coordinator and MB will continue to keep this aspect under review, and should any such issues arise in the future, they will be addressed and taken into account in due time.
Ethical Issues. INNO4COV-19 complies with the fundamental ethical issues particularly those outlined in the “European Code of Conduct for Research Integrity”. All applicants have to submit a self-assessment ethics questionnaire, available in the Proposal Template, to confirm that their proposal does or does not have ethical issues. If you have to answer “Yes” to any of the questions in the template, you may contact INNO4COV-19 Helpdesk for guidance, if needed. The INNO4COV-19 consortium may check during the evaluation of a proposal if this declaration is in line with the contents of the proposal itself and reserves itself the right to contact the companies for clarification and eventually take necessary steps depending on the ethical issues. If a project passes the second stage, the applicants will commit to send any relevant approvals and documentation, and certainly before the experimental part raising ethics issues commences. If an applicant declared that their project proposal may have ethical issues, an ethics review will be carried out. INNO4COV-19 consortium will identify and invite external experts on ethics to participate in the evaluation. Proposals that fail to properly address ethical issues or inadequately deal with privacy aspects will be rejected. For more information on ethical issues, please consult the documentation provided by the European Commission. This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme
Ethical Issues. (not applicable) B.5 Gender aspects Gender balance or, in more general terms, equal opportunities moved into the focus of the human resource policy of many large organizations. In the MC-PAD project, the network participants are committed to a fair treatment in recruitment and career development regardless of sex, ethnic origin, physical handicap, sexual orientation or religion, nationality, etc. Equally important are respect and dignity in the workplace, a reasonable balance between work and home-life and an appropriate support for working parents. Improving the gender balance is still an issue in our field of research, namely high energy physics, although the representation of women varies considerably from country to country. Comment: Although in several places it is mentioned that ESRs are normally expected to obtain PhDs, this aspect should have received more attention in the cases where ESR activity is mostly carried out in one of the labs. ESR recruitment by the network and PhD enrolment at a university do not appear to be seamless. All the Labs participating in the MC-PAD network are experienced in supervising PhD students and guiding them through the phases of their research and training until the final submission of their thesis. In order to be able to so so, the labs have by now well-established programmes for doctoral students. In the following we give two exaples. DESY in Hamburg collaborates with several universities, predominantly with the University of Hamburg. Candidates for thesis research have to satisfy the universities' terms of admission for doctoral theses. In the MC-PAD network this will be taken care of in the recruitment procedure. Several non German students received their PhDs from Hamburg University in the past. As for the ESRs which will mostly work at NIKHEF, they will enrol in the Research School of Subatomic Physics for PhD students, which is formed by several Dutch Universities and Institutes. Already now a substantial part of the PhD students that participate in this school are non Dutch students. Apart from the research that is carried out in the different labs or groups, the students follow joint schools and lectures and have the opportunity to share their experience with colleagues. Comment: The means for establishing long-term collaborations or lasting structured training programmes between the partner’s organizations should be better specified. Modern particle physics experiments rely on a strong collaborative effort...
