- Target group:
Level 1
About the event
Article 14 of the HE Grant Agreement states that “The action must be carried out in line with the highest ethical standards and the applicable EU, international and national law on ethical principles.” We have to do a self-assessment at the proposal stage and the ethical experts will do an ethics review for all scientifically favourably evaluated proposals invited to the Grant Agreement Preparation process. This webinar will help understand the ethics (AI-H-A-PODP, NEC, etc) and security aspects that you should analyse and consider during proposal writing and project implementation.
