Ethics Committee
ARTES
The Ethics Committee of the Faculty of Humanities safeguards the ethical standards of all research involving human participants that is conducted at the faculty. It draws up guidelines for carrying out ethical research and reviews research proposals to ensure that these standards are upheld.
Before any research involving questionnaires, interviews, experiments or observations commences, approval of the Ethics Committee must be obtained. A growing number of academic journals as well as Dutch and European funding bodies now require the formal approval of an Ethics Committee before an article can be published or a subsidy granted.
