Deadline of registration to participate on site is 15 November
Ethical review of research has been extensively debated over the past year. The Swedish ethical review authority and its way of implementing the legislation has been in focus, especially the strict requirement for ethical review of all research regardless of discipline. While the legislation was developed based on medical research on humans, in the Swedish research context it applies to all research "on humans, human tissue or sensitive personal data". Seen in an international perspective, this is unique.
The Swedish Research Council organized a symposium on artistic research ethics already in 2016, which culminated in a yearbook on the theme (2017). Much has happened since then, and there is a great need to draw attention both to ethical questions raised and initiatives being taken in artistic research and in neighboring fields.
