Ethical Advisory Board in South East Sweden

If you are a student, a supervisor or a researcher, and you have questions about the ethical aspects of your essays or research work, you are welcome to contact the Ethical Advisory Board in South East Sweden. We do not provide any ethical approval because we do not conduct an ethical review, instead we provide an advisory opinion as support for your essay or project.

Below you will find information on how to apply, which forms to include and contact information for the members of the Ethical Advisory Board.

More information about the Ethical Advisory Board's work can be found at lnu.se

Application

The Ethical Advisory Board receives applications during the semester periods and suspends its activities during the summer. We continuously reviews incoming applications and aims to provide feedback within 7 working days of the application being received.

You therefore do not need to submit your application a specific number of days before a meeting, but rather responses are continually forthcoming.

Before submitting a complete application to the Ethical Advisory Board, you must do the following:

Begin by performing your own ethical assessment of your project. The self-assessment is included in the application form.
If it is apparent from your self-assessment that your project should be reviewed by the Swedish Ethical Review Authority then you send an application for a ethical review to them.
When the self-assessment is done, you can obtain an advisory ethical assessment of your project by completing and submitting the application form to the Ethical Advisory Board.

Submit the ethical self-assessment together with the application form and any attachments so that we can appraise your work.

We look forward to your application!

Applications, feedback provided and the personal information given in the documents (e.g. names, contact details and programme, university/university college and/or workplace) are processed within the Board and archived in the Board’s records (as per GDPR).
