Romanian Codul General de Etică în Cercetarea Științifică - General code of ethics in scientific research 2015 +
The document 'Codul General de Etică în Cercetarea Științifică - General code of ethics in scientific research', developed in 2015 in Romania, is a national guideline that addresses the principles of research integrity. Authored by MINISTRY OF EDUCATION, RESEARCH, AND YOUTH;NATIONAL AUTHORITY FOR SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH;NATIONAL ETHICS COUNCIL, and available in Romanian, it targets the research community in National. It provides clear expectations for responsible conduct in research and defines practices that safeguard honesty, transparency, and accountability. The text outlines responsibilities of both individual researchers and institutions. It identifies misconduct such as plagiarism, data falsification, fabrication, and unethical authorship, while also promoting good practices in publication, peer review, and collaborative research. It emphasizes effective data management, openness in reporting, and respect for colleagues, participants, and the wider community. Institutions are encouraged to create supportive environments through policies, training, and oversight mechanisms. The document serves as an official reference for aligning national research standards with international expectations, reinforcing ethical norms across research fields. +

The European Commission funded SATORI project has complied a page of resources on the ethical assessment of research and innovation. +
SHERPA is a European research project that examines how smart information systems especially AI and big data analytics affect ethics and human rights. Through stakeholder engagement (interviews, surveys, Delphi studies) and creative formats like case studies and artistic representations, SHERPA maps out the key ethical challenges of these technologies. It also develops practical tools including a workbook on responsible SIS development and proposes technical, regulatory, and governance options to promote more sustainable, human-centred information systems. +
The SHERPA Final Recommendations provide a comprehensive framework for addressing the ethical and human rights implications of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and smart information systems in Europe. Viewing AI as a set of interconnected ecosystems involving technologies, stakeholders, and governance structures, the recommendations aim to ensure that AI development promotes human flourishing. They are organized into three domains: Concepts, Knowledge, and Governance.
First, SHERPA stresses the need for clear and appropriate definitions of AI to better identify ethically relevant issues. Second, it calls for a strong and sustainable knowledge base through AI impact assessments, ethics-by-design approaches, education and training pathways, inclusion of ethics in standardization, and security analysis of AI systems. Third, the recommendations propose robust governance mechanisms, including a mandatory EU regulatory framework, the establishment of an independent European Union Agency for AI, and the creation of AI Ethics Officers within organizations. Together, these measures aim to ensure trustworthy, rights-respecting, and socially beneficial AI systems. +
The SIENNA Project (Stakeholder-Informed Ethics for New Technologies) was a Horizon 2020 initiative that addressed ethical and human-rights challenges in three emerging tech domains: human genomics, human enhancement, and AI & robotics. The project combined stakeholder input from citizens, experts, civil society, and policymakers with rigorous ethical, legal, and social analysis. Based on this, it developed ethical frameworks, research-ethics protocols, professional codes of conduct, and recommendations for better regulation. The aim was to guide responsible innovation in these transformative technologies by promoting human rights, accountability, and inclusive governance. +
SOPs4RI (Standard Operating Procedures for Research Integrity) aims to stimulate and foster responsible research practices across European Research Performing and Funding Organisations (RPOs and RFOs) with a toolbox that includes a collection of easy-to-use Standard Operating Procedures and Guidelines that these organisations can use to develop their own Research Integrity Promotion Plans. +

This guideline presents a set of recommendations for research institutions on informing and empowering supervisors regarding their rights, roles and responsibilities.
Competent supervision and mentoring must be offered to researchers at all stages of their career development. The RIPP must specify procedures and criteria for qualifying as a supervisor or mentor and must include guidelines for supervision and mentoring of researchers at different career stages, with due attention to responsible conduct of research and research integrity. Also, we assure that academic leadership is valued and made tangible in this guidelines. +
This guideline presents a set of recommendations for research institutions on building and leading an effective team with a focus on research integrity and valueing responsible conduct of research.
Competent leadership is a skill that should get more attention by resaerch institutions. Guidance should be offered to researchers at leadership positions. The RIPP must specify procedures and criteria for leadership, their responsibilities, how to support them, provide time, guidance and resources, provide training leadership and recognize and reward responsible leadership. +
SOPs4RI Guidelines for research funders on defining and preventing unjustified interferences from funders, political and commercial actors +
