Conference: Have We Become Too Ethical? — Managing vulnerability in human subject research
Over the last two decades ethical review by committee has become compulsory for all UK-funded research involving human subjects. It aims to prevent harm from biomedical research.
Concern: When is ethics review too constrictive and when too permissive?
Aim: To formulate the basis for feasible, fair and effective ethical review at home and in transnational collaborative research
Well-known experts in the field of social science research ethics and research funderswill debate:
- Contextual factors in ethical review
- Competence of reviewers of human subject research
- Informed consent
Organised by:
