The National Committee for Research Ethics in Science and Technology (NENT) invites you to a public webinar about the ethical implications of LLMs in academia on May 8th 2025.
The conference focused on the topics of Indigenous peoples and national minorities, and Artificial Intelligence (AI). One of the speakers traveled all the way from Australia to share insights on guidelines for Indigenous research.
The Research Council is introducing research ethics self-evaluations in all applications. The National Research Ethics Committees (NREC) have assisted in the work.
In 2025, the National Research Ethics Committees (NREC) will continue their work to develop academic resources and meeting places to help create awareness of research ethics topics that affect research institutions and society.
With the pace of the development we see in AI today, do basic research ethical principles still apply? And should we worry that the technology will be the end of humans? These were some of the questions addressed at NENTs webinar with author and scientist Brian Christian.
“Overall, I think these cases emphasise the need for awareness and knowledge of research ethical norms such as honesty, collegiality and accountability”, says NREC-director Helene Ingierd.
The role of supervisors and international cooperation are the two priority topics. There will also be several new resources for the research institutions.
On 17 November, Norway’s National Committee for Research Ethics on Human Remains and Nordic Network on Human Remains hosted a webinar on aDNA research and research integrity. The recording of the webinar is now available.
Several authority initiatives are looking to revise and develop new frameworks for international research cooperation. But how to create a framework for research that safeguards national security, while still facilitating international collaboration?
The National Committee for Research Ethics on Human Remains (Human Remains Committee) has just published a new and revised version of their guidelines.
To teach children and young people about research participation, The Norwegian National Research Ethics Committees have cooperated with the UiO CO:RE project to produce an informational animation film.
In what ways is Big Data changing research? What norms are tested? How should researchers and other stakeholders address the emerging opportunities and challenges?
These are the findings of a new report on clinical trial transparency in Norway. The consequences? Patients are harmed. Public health agencies cannot make informed decisions. Public health funds are wasted. Medical progress is slowed down.
