Research Ethics and Integrity (Melbourne)

Human research ethics is vital when conducting your research with people. Unethical research may put raise risks and even jeopardise the validity of your findings. As we undertake more and more research using increasingly diverse methods including advanced technology, AI, increased collaborations, it is important to get it right the first time.​

In this seminar, you will learn the principles of ethical research, and how to manage your research in ethical and responsible ways. You will consider issues like voluntary participation and informed consent, making sure that personal information is handled safely and confidentially, and recruiting vulnerable participants in human research.; implementing the 3Rs in animal research; and considering various elements of the responsible conduct of research.
