ApogeebioETHICS aspects of the research

From the H2020 ETHICS GUIDELINE:
“Consider that ethics issues arise in many areas of research. Apart from the obvious example, the medical field, research protocols in social sciences, ethnography, psychology, environmental studies, security research, etc. may involve the voluntary participation of research subjects and the collection of data that might be considered as personal. You must protect your volunteers, yourself and your researcher colleagues. Start thinking about ethics while designing your research protocols."

Ethics also matter for scholarly publication. Major scientific journals in many areas will increasingly require ethics committee approval before publishing research articles. Thus, you should be prepared for ethics procedures whatever the source of its funding.
