A Panel on Ethical Aspects of Conducting Research on Human Subjects
as part of the 11th Annual International Conference on Psychology
29-31 May & 1 June 2017
Sponsored by the Athens Journal of Social Sciences
The Psychology Unit of the Athens Institute for Education and Research (ATINER) organizes A Panel on Ethical Aspects of Conducting Research on Human Subjects, 29-31 May & 1 June 2017 as part of the 11th Annual International Conference on Psychology sponsored by the Athens Journal of Social Sciences.
The panel will focus on the discussion of conducting ethical research on human subjects, specifically the introduction of ethics into the research field with the Nuremberg Code, the Helsinki Declaration, and the Belmont Report principles: respect for persons, beneficence, and justice; as well as current upholding of said principles across nations. We welcome submissions on topics of national ethics research regulations, lack of universal approach to protecting human subjects, and challenging cases from the past. In addition, we would like to bring up a very pressing issue of data safety and cyber security when it comes to protecting research data. The goal of the panel is to raise awareness on the necessity of ethics incorporation into any research, share experience, and discuss ways of possible improvement in the field.
Fee structure information is available on https://www.atiner.gr/fees.
Special arrangements will be made with a local hotel for a limited number of rooms at a special conference rate. In addition, a number of special events will be organized: A Greek night of entertainment with dinner, a special one-day cruise to selected Greek islands, an archaeological tour of Athens and a one-day visit to Delphi. Details of the social program are available here.
