Ethics Plan

The project will follow the ethics appraisal procedure in Horizon Europe. The aim is to ensure that the provisions on ethics regulation and rules are respected. VTT as coordinator will propose an external and independent expert to act as Ethics Advisor (EAd). The EAd will monitor the ethics issues involved in the project and how they are handled. The EAd will attend project meetings when necessary and will be consulted on all ethical issues. An Ethics Board composed by 5 partners representatives will be appointed at kick-off meeting. The Ethics Board will convene during Consortium Meetings to discuss and monitor project’s ethical issues. Further meetings will be organised as appropriate. By the end of M3 the Ethics Board will deliver an Ethics Plan (D9.3) detailing the forthcoming actions and responsibilities to ensure that ethics requirements are satisfied. The Ethics Plan will include a schedule to obtain and deliver all documents related to Ethics requirements identified in Part A.
