Ethics Committee

Welcome

Upon request, the Ethics Committee of the Faculty of Computer Science issues an opinion on the ethical justifiability of research projects involving human participants. In particular, it bases its work on the ethical guidelines and recommendations of the German Psychological Society. Legal aspects are not part of the research ethics review.

Applications can be submitted by all members of the Faculty of Computer Science at the University of Duisburg-Essen. Please send your application (basic questionnaire incl. supporting material) to the following e-mail address: ethikkommission.informatik@uni-due.de
