The Ethics Committee for Research Involving Humans at the University of Silesia in Katowice was established to assess whether planned research complies with ethical standards.

It attaches particular importance to protecting the rights and well-being of those involved in the research process (participants and researchers) – including whether the research participants have given their informed and voluntary consent to participate, whether there are any risks associated with participation in the research, and whether measures have been put in place to mitigate those risks. The Committee also pays attention to copyright compliance and the proper processing of personal data.

 

The following questions and answers have been prepared to help those preparing research applications understand the most important ethical issues. We encourage you to read them carefully – this will make it easier to complete the application correctly and speed up the opinion-issuing process.
