Embed ethics at the heart of your research – with expert support for values, compliance, and impact in EU and international projects.

Background

Ethical challenges in research and innovation are becoming more complex, especially in areas like biotechnology, health, AI, and data-driven science. Horizon Europe and other funding bodies now expect projects not only to comply with legal standards, but to demonstrate proactive engagement with ethical questions – from concept phase to exploitation. This is particularly relevant in collaborative and interdisciplinary settings, where legal, social, and cultural contexts intersect.
Researchers, coordinators, and institutions often need support to navigate this landscape.
