Ethics Committee
Research projects may involve risks that raise ethical questions. In accordance with Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin's statutes on safeguarding good scientific practice and dealing with allegations of scientific misconduct, researchers at the School of Business and Economics obtain an ethics approval for research projects involving significant risks and present it at relevant bodies. Prior to and during the conduct of a research project, they seek advice if there is a change in their assessment of the significant risks of the research project.
The Faculty Committee of the School of Business and Economics appoints an Ethics Committee to review ethical issues related to the risks of research projects.
