The Research Ethics Committee (REC) at ICCS operates in accordance with the current regulations and adheres to the voluntary application of Law 4521/2018 (Articles 21-28). Established in 2022, the Committee is tasked with ensuring the ethical integrity of research projects conducted at ICCS. Its primary role is to uphold the value of human dignity, protect participant autonomy, and safeguard privacy, personal data, and the natural and cultural environment.
The REC is crucial in ensuring that research involving human participants, animals, or sensitive data adheres to established ethical standards and guidelines. It is committed to preventing any form of discrimination based on nationality, race, origin, language, gender, religion, privacy, sexual orientation, gender identity, physical ability, or socio-economic status.
The Committee is composed of five full members and five alternate members. It reviews and evaluates research proposals to ensure compliance with ethical principles, legal regulations, and institutional policies.
In summary, the REC serves as a guardian of ethical standards, ensuring that research at ICCS is conducted responsibly, respects the rights and well-being of participants, and contributes positively to the advancement of knowledge.
