Ethical Review Board

The ethical review board of the faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science at Saarland University evaluates and, if necessary, takes a position on ethical aspects of planned research projects involving human subjects and personal data (Term of office until 30.09.2026). 

The responsibility of the scientist in charge remains untouched.

Every scientist of the faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science can apply for an ethics vote. Submitting an application is particularly recommended for experiments which involve potential risks for the participants, or for studies in which participants are not entirely informed about the purpose and procedure of the study. 

Applications may be submitted at any time. The ethical review boards and its members are independent concerning the safeguarding of their duties and not bound by any directions. They are only responsible to their conscience.

To submit a proposal please send the completed basic questionnaire (download: fillable version or plain version) with all the necessary documents (see last page of the questionnaire) by email to erb-submission(at)milaman.cs.uni-saarland.de .
