Goal

The below training clips are concerned with key issues in research ethics and integrity with multidisciplinary relevance - also available with subtitles in Chinese and Spanish to reach wider audiences.

These clips can be used to spark discussion and learning within ethics courses. The topics of the clips all share a deep ethical core that becomes more relatable through storytelling. Short videos are not just passive content, they are triggers for discussion, gateways to empathy, and opportunities for exploring complexity. Whether used to launch a discussion, support a flipped classroom model or as case studies for reflection, they help to anchor theoretical content in real-world relevance.

Research – who benefits?

Humans have been hooked on learning for millennia. From Darwin’s curiosity about evolution to our desire for self-improvement, knowledge fuels our world. But it’s not just about personal growth; it's also about solving global problems and making the world a better place. Researchers use everything from ancient wisdom to cutting-edge technology to uncover new insights. But unless their findings are actually used to solve problems, the vast majority of benefits from research lie only with researchers themselves.

Benefit Sharing

This clip explains the basics of benefit sharing, which is an instrument to increase justice in international research and cross-border access to resources. In the context of the UN Convention on Biological Diversity, benefit sharing is contribution-based, i.e. those who contribute to a project or research should benefit from its outcomes. In the context of the UNESCO Universal Declaration on Bioethics and Human Rights, the benefits of research should be shared with all of society, independent of contribution.
