The Research Ethics Committee at Collegium Civitas serves an advisory and consultative role in ensuring that research and research projects conducted at Collegium Civitas meet ethical scientific standards.  

It reviews and provides advice on projects and research concepts conducted as part of doctoral theses, post-doctoral qualifications, staff members’ work, statutory tasks, grants, and subsidies obtained from internal or external funding sources. These are associated with risks to the physical or mental health of participants, the risk of violating their privacy, or causing them other social or legal losses, including research projects involving personal data and matters of teaching.
