This webinar by sister project TIME4CS will provide participants with a specific Citizen Science case study, which implies different levels of ethical and legal challenges, including GDPR compliance and various ethics dimension (i.e. research integrity, gender perspective, open access, public engagement, etc.). The moderators will take care of presenting the case study as a whole, highlighting the most sensitive aspects of its implementation to focus the participants’ attention on the needed interventions.
ETHNA System will present its flexible ethical governance system, illustrating its optimal composition for the chosen case: which “columns” should be considered (code of ethics and good practices, ethics committee on R&I, ethics line) and which building brick to be implemented (research integrity, gender perspective, public engagement, open access), according to the issues raised by the case study as well as the institutional commitment and capabilities of the hosting organisation in these terms.
This presentation will serve a dual purpose: on the one hand, it will give participants an understanding of the necessary framework within which embedding particular CS projects/activities (as the chosen case study), on the other hand, it will outline a customised “lookalike” institutional intervention to address the ethical and legal challenges arising from the case study.
Takeaway for participants:
- Provide ethical/legal protocols tailored to the institution/national requirements
- Develop protocols on the implementation of CS activities
- Develop plans for ethical and legal approval of CS projects
This event will take place via Zoom.
