Ethics Committee

The Ethics Committee of the Lusófona Institute for Research and Development was formed in 2017 with a view to assessing ethical issues and issuing opinions in the context of research activities/projects.

The Ethics Committee aims to promote and enhance the ethical standards of ILIND and the UI&D of ULHT/ ULP, and is responsible for drawing up proposals, opinions and recommendations on ethical issues.

Requests for an opinion from ILIND's Ethics Committee must be submitted through the Employee Portal.

All documents supporting or corroborating the request (e.g., informed consent forms, application guidelines, and questionnaire guidelines) must be submitted as attachments, preferably in PDF format.

The Ethics Committee's opinions and recommendations are issued within a maximum period of thirty business days from the date the request is submitted to the Ethics Committee.

The Ethics Committee shares a set of documents and recommendations :

• Regulamento da Comissão de Ética ILIND (PT)
• Regulamento Geral sobre Proteção de Dados - RGPD (PT)
• Guião para Tratamento Ético de Dados Pessoais da Comissão Europeia (PT)
