Leadership forum today:
Security and cooperation
Several authority initiatives are looking to revise and develop new frameworks for international research cooperation. But how to create a framework for research that safeguards national security, while still facilitating international collaboration?
This is one of the question that will be discussed at the Leadership forum for research ethics 2022.
– For FEK, it is important to clarify which values and principles are at stake, and to contribute to creating frameworks that continue to facilitate international cooperation, while safeguarding security considerations, says director of the National Research Ethics Committees Helene Ingierd.

New guidelines for ethical research on human remains
The National Committee for Research Ethics on Human Remains (Human Remains Committee) have revised their guidelines.
In the revision work, the committee placed particular emphasis on structure and framework, as well as how various factors, such as the Research Ethics Act, open science, Big Data and increased focus on repatriation, affect the guidelines. It has also been a priority to clearly emphasize research ethics as a foundation for good research on human remains.
