Request advice from the Ethics Committee?

Please fill in your ethical review form and submit it before you start your researchproject. Email the form to ethics.psw@ugent.be. Because most research projects entail the gathering and/or processing of personal data, you should also submit the invitation letter for participants and the letter of consent.

FAQ

What about master thesis and ethical dilemma’s?

MA theses or other research during the Bachelor or Master studies must normally comply with the ethical standards as laid down by Ghent University. Ghent University assumes that the lecturer or supervisor, in consultation, does what is necessary (informed consents, secure storage of data, anonymity, ...). Students do not have to apply for and advice of the ethical committee is not necessary. The lecturer/supervisor acts as the 'ethical adviser'.
