Welcome!

The ethics committee of the division of Computer Science and Applied Cognitive Sciences at the Faculty of Engineering comments on the ethical acceptability of psychological research and research involving personal data.

Every member of the division of Computer Science and Applied Cognitive Sciences at the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Duisburg-Essen can file a motion. This motion is especially recommended for research, which includes risks for the participants or in which the aims and the activities are concealed from the participants. Motions can be submitted at any time. Normally before filing a motion to the ethics committee the basic-questionnaire has to be completed. Here you can find a guide that can help you to fill out the basic-questionnaire (German version only).

The work of the ethics committee is based on the lawful regulations of data privacy, the Declaration of Helsinki and also the ethical guidance of the German Psychology Society and of the Association of the German Professional Psychologists.

Please send your motions to the following address: ethikkommission.inko@uni-due.de

Thank you in advance!
