Statements by NESH

Based on various inquiries recently concerning challenges related to ethics evaluation in EU-projects, NESH has decided to give a general advice which might be applicable for others. The aim is to clarify, translate and harmonize the different approaches to ethical evaluation in the Norwegian system and H2020s Ethics Appraisal Procedure respectively. Hopefully, the statement will be helpful for the administration of the Participant Portal for H2020, when processing applications from Norway.
