Event description

Ethics in life and research encompasses a set of principles that guide ethical considerations in various fields. These principles ensure that research is conducted with respect for human rights and dignity, and that the interests of the public, participants in research, and researchers are protected. Ethical considerations in research are crucial for scientific integrity, human rights, and collaboration between science and society. This involves ensuring that participation in studies is voluntary, informed, confidential and safe for research participants, while preventing harm to them.
