Ethics Committee
Committee for the upholding of ethical principles
Scientific work and research must meet high ethical standards. To ensure this, the Ethics Committee of Koblenz University was established. It specifically ensures that research projects particularly involving studies on humans or samples taken from humans, or research involving sensitive personal data of test subjects, are ethically permissible.
In addition, the Ethics Committee may also act in an advisory capacity in other cases.

Review of research projects
Researchers who are not sure whether their project needs to be reviewed by the Ethics Committee can use the Positive List to check before submitting an application to find out whether a review is required. In cases of doubt, they can contact the Committee for advise.
If the review concludes that an application is required, the Guideline for Applications to the Ethics Committee provides guidance on the information to be provided to them. Applications must be submitted by email at least 7 days before the Ethics Committee meeting.
