Ethics · UniDistance Suisse

The main task of the Ethics Commission is to examine the various research activities of UniDistance Suisse. Its goal is to guarantee the proportionate nature of the work carried out as well as the protection of the participants in the experiments.

The Ethics Commission was set up on 26^th April 2019 and is based on international guidelines (Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct, ASA Code of Ethics). It is made up of eight members (four per language).

The researchers at UniDistance Suisse can carry out empirical research into human beings only if the Ethics Commission has given its approval.

Research is one of the mainstays of UniDistance Suisse with the aim of consolidating its position on the Swiss and international university landscape.
