2nd module: Ethics of Research with Living Beings
Sara Casati - 4 hrs

We will share the Ethical-Legal-Social - ELSI horizon for research involving human beings or based on data and/or biological samples of human origin.
Through the analysis of concrete projects by the PhD students, we will identify the fundamental steps where both the protection of the rights and the participants’ engagement and the compliance with ELSI require-ments become the backbone of the same research protocol, with a par-ticular attention to

  • Participatory & Informational processes/tools (raising awareness – scientific citizenship; dynamic consent; Material/Data Transfer Agreement …)
  • Risk assessment and risk mitigation
  • Framing & processing within a RRI horizon
    Finally, we will discuss when and how
  • to present a research protocol to an ethics committee, with ref-erence to the Ethic Committee of the University of Milano-Bicocca,
  • query and ask for samples/data to an access committee.

Target audience
PhD students/Researchers responsible of projects involving human beings or using data/samples of human origin or impacting on humans
