ViDSS Research Ethics Forum
The ViDSS Research Ethics Forum is a platform for early stage researchers of every discipline at the Faculty of Social Sciences that helps them to reflect on their viewpoints towards integrating different research methods into their research agenda. Participants can discuss their research approaches and ethical challenges related to designing, conducting and disseminating social science research. Our meetings will cover quantitative methods, such as surveys, descriptive or experimental studies as well as qualitative techniques, such as phenomenological, ethnographic or grounded theory studies. The group will discuss general pros and cons as well as loopholes and pitfalls of different methodological steps.
The ViDSS Research Ethics Forum is open to all early stage researchers at the Faculty of Social Sciences.
Organiser: Jonathan Hendrickx
If you would like to participate and/or be added to the mailing list, please contact Jonathan Hendrickx.

Have you completed all necessary research ethics screenings? Do you wonder how to best deal with the many ethical questions that cannot be addressed in a formalised screening? In this meeting we will focus on potential ethical risks, problems and challenges related to (doctoral) research projects in the social sciences. You will have the possibility to learn more about the Research Ethics Screening at the Faculty and the Pre-screening for PhD projects in particular. Member of the Institutional Review Board Maximilian Fochler will provide insights into the work of the board and will address ethical considerations regarding qualitative methodological approaches. We welcome all early career researchers from the Faculty of Social Sciences to join us! Drinks and snacks will be provided.
