Ethics Requirements

About

Work package 1 – Ethics requirements – aims to make sure that any ethical issues arising during the course of the HydroFlex project will be properly managed. In line with the Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) framework, HydroFlex considers ethics, along with the other five RRI principles public engagement, gender equality, science education, open access and governance as an integral part of all project activities. Our research and innovation activities will be carried out according to highest quality and ethical standards.
