Common use of Purpose of the Document Clause in Contracts

Purpose of the Document. Deliverable 8.2: Ethics and Safety Manual I is part of WP8, Project Management and Ethical Issues. The document aims to: • Review the ethical principles and the relevant legal and regulatory framework which are related to the research in SPLENDID • Clearly identify the ethical issues for key elements of the SPLENDID research and define strategies to address them. The above points are especially considered in relation to research involving humans. Therefore, the main impact of this deliverable will be in the area of the research studies that will be conducted in WP6. However, there are also considerations that have an impact on the technical development, namely in the areas of sensor safety (WP2) and data management (WP3, WP4 and WP5). The manual presents a detailed outline of the state of the research activities, especially highlighting the required ethical awareness indicated by the European Union Directives and guidelines. Consecutively, we have identified key methodological aspects of SPLENDID which are connected to the described ethical issues and we are proposing specific practises to mitigate possible ethical issues that might arise. Note that while the Ethical Issues relevant to the future use of the SPLENDID platform have regularly been considered, this manual focuses on the ethical considerations relevant to the development phase of SPLENDID. As the development of the final platform progresses more information will become available about the functional details of the platform and the specifics of the projected uses. Key considerations in this document will be revised as necessary during the composition of the Ethics and Safety Manual II (October 2015).
