TRUST
The TRUST Project was an EU-funded initiative designed to strengthen global research ethics and prevent “ethics dumping” where researchers apply lower ethical standards in underprivileged settings. It brought together a diverse, international consortium including academic scholars, civil society organizations, funders, and policymakers to co-create tools and mechanisms with vulnerable communities to improve research governance. Key outputs include a Global Code of Conduct for Research in Resource-Poor Settings, an online fair-contracting tool for research collaborations, and a compliance & ethics follow-up system tailored to resource-constrained contexts.
