The Ethics Committee

If necessary, the ethics committee will look into the ethical acceptability of the aims and procedures of research projects, e.g. the possible use for non-peaceful purposes, and check whether all precautions have been taken to minimise risks or whether there is an appropriate balance between benefits and risks.
