Zentrale Organisation

Upon application, the Ethics Committee of Bielefeld University (EUB) examines and evaluates research projects submitted by members and students of the University according to ethical criteria and delivers statements on individual research projects.

The Ethics Committee assists the responsible scientists by advising and assessing ethical and, if necessary, legal aspects of research on and with humans. The EUB does not exercise the functions of a medical ethics committee. Independent of the evaluation by the Ethics Committee, the scientists remain responsible for their actions.
