improving Research Ethics Expertise and Competences to Ensure Reliability andTrust in Science (iRECS)

在全球范围内，研究伦理过程面临着越来越多的挑战：新兴技术对相关领域不熟练的伦理审稿人提出了挑战；研究国际化程度的提高引发了对伦理倾销的担忧；整个欧洲和世界都缺乏标准化。国家和欧盟研究政策的一个关键目标是确保遵守研究伦理的最高标准。考虑到研究对社会的影响，就产生解决问题的创新方案的潜力而言，但也有相关的危害风险，严格的伦理研究行为对于确保公众对科学努力的信任至关重要。iRECS将从四个方面解决这些问题。首先，它将扫描和绘制欧洲和全球研究伦理社区中新技术提出的现有需求。其次，它将为欧洲和全球研究伦理界的受众制作和实施培训材料。第三，它将执行和永久设立培训方案。第四，它将提出适应欧洲研究伦理过程的建议。通过独特的专业知识、全球合作伙伴和欧洲研究伦理网络作为合作伙伴或利益相关者咨询委员会成员的参与，iRECS将为不同的用户开发一种新的研究伦理意识和可持续的、多目的、多语言的互动培训计划。因此，该项目将ENERI和良好科学大使馆扩展到一个由研究伦理实践者、政策制定者和其他关键利益相关者组成的横向社区。

The research ethics process is facing increasing challenges at a global level: new and emerging technologies present challenges to ethics reviewers who may be unskilled in the relevant fields; increased internationalisation of research has led to fears of ethics dumping; and there is a lack of standardisation across Europe and the world. A key objective of national and EU research policy is to ensure compliance with the highest standards of research ethics. Given the impact of research on society, in terms of potential to generate innovative solutions to problems, and yet with the associated risk of harm, rigorous ethical research conduct is essential to ensure public trust in the scientific endeavour. iRECS will address these problems in four ways. First, it will scan and map existing needs raised by new and emerging technologiesin European and global research ethics communities. Second, it will produce and implement training materials for European and global audiences in research ethics communities. Third, it will conduct and permanently establish training programmes. Fourth, it will propose adaptations to the research ethics process in Europe. Through a unique blend of expertise, global partners and the involvement of European research ethics networks as partners or members of the Stakeholder Advisory Board, iRECS will develop a fresh awareness of research ethics and sustainable, multi-purpose, multi-language interactive training programmes for different users. The project thus extends ENERI and the Embassy of Good Science into a horizontal community of research ethics practitioners, policy makers and other key stakeholders.
