The Ethics Committee

An Ethics Committee is a group of experts that reviews research projects involving people or animals to ensure they are conducted responsibly and ethically. They evaluate plans to protect participants from harm, ensure informed consent is obtained, and that the research meets legal and moral standards. Their goal is to promote integrity in research while safeguarding the rights and well-being of those involved. The committee provides oversight, approves or asks for modifications to studies, and monitors ongoing research to maintain ethical conduct throughout the process.
