Important announcement

Dear visitor,

Please note that this OpenCourseWare platform will be replaced at the end of 2026 by a new platform (under the same url ocw.tudelft.nl).

Courses and their contents that are currently available the platform will partly be migrated. URL’s for this content will change and content might be unavailable for some time. In addition, some courses will not be available anymore.

If you are linking to specific courses on this platform (for instance for your students), please take timely measures to avoid problems with access. Possible actions are:

  • Download the materials to your local platform (laptop, server)
  • For educators only (including TU Delft lecturers): Contact us at ocw@tudelft.nl and inform us what course you are using in what context (institute, program, period of use, number of students). We will research (in collaboration with the authors of the course) and decide if we will migrate the course, and if yes, can supply you with a new url.

Thank you.

2.7.1 Introduction to Ethics

Course subject(s) Module 2. Phases & Methods of Scientific Research

Street sign showing Right pointing right and wrong pointing left

When doing research we, as researchers, have a moral and legal obligation to do so ethically. Although this may be self-explanatory, it is not always as simple as it sounds. In this section, you will learn about Research Ethics, Guidelines for Ethical research as well as when and where to obtain ethical permission.

We will show you how to abide by the principles of the Helsinki Declaration on Human Subject Research and the Principles of Informed consent if your organization does not have an Ethics Research Approval Committee.
