The rise of digital psychiatry brings both opportunities and ethical challenges. Technologies such as AI-driven diagnostics, mental health apps, and telepsychiatry services promise greater accessibility, but they also raise concerns about privacy, trust, equity, and bias. Without clear rules and oversight, it’s important to consider their impact. +
More than 50 case studies match ethics concepts to real world situations. From journalism to performing arts to foreign policy to scientific research to social work, these cases explore a range of current and historic ethical dilemmas, their motivating biases, and their consequences. +
This fictional case describes the human rights and ethical implications of vaccine trials in low-income communities and countries. Two short, fictional scenarios are analysed from both perspectives. The case revolves around two key points: the informed consent and comprehension of the research by the potential participants and the question to what extend persuasion by the trail conductor is justifiable.

European Code of Conduct for Research Integrity (2023) , ALLEA (European Federation of Academies of Sciences and Humanities) +
The European Code of Conduct for Research Integrity (2023), authored by ALLEA (European Federation of Academies of Sciences and Humanities), provides an international framework that formalises principles of honesty, accountability, professional courtesy, and stewardship of resources. Targeting Europe but aligned with global standards, it strengthens the credibility, reproducibility, and societal trust in research. The Code outlines responsibilities for researchers, institutions, funders, and journals, setting expectations for good practice in planning, conducting, publishing, and reviewing research. Key provisions address authorship, citation, conflict-of-interest management, transparency of data and methods, responsible supervision, and fair peer review. It establishes clear procedures for handling breaches of integrity, ensuring due process, proportional sanctions, and opportunities for learning. Education and training are embedded to make integrity a core competence, alongside guidance on emerging issues such as open science, digital tools, data management, and new dissemination practices. Equity, diversity, and inclusivity are emphasised as essential for safe and respectful research environments. By offering practical tools and aligning local policies with international norms, the Code acts as both a policy benchmark and a handbook, supporting researchers and institutions in safeguarding research quality across Europe. +
