Once a month we are inviting all researchers to meet via ZOOM to discuss a complex ethics & integrity case. Our purpose is to see ethical practice as a living and vibrant part of our work at Victoria University. While we do not underestimate the importance of formal ethical review, it is well known that issues arise in practice that do not necessarily fit the templates of such review, and that researchers often have to make fast decisions about how to move forward.

Researchers within the university have kindly offered to provide cases from their own research practice. We will investigate these drawing on resources such as  the Global Ethics Toolkit (https://www.ed.ac.uk/global-health/doing-ethical-global-research-together/a-model-to-analyse-ethical-issues-and-solutions),  and Casebook on ethical issues in international health research (https://www.who.int/publications/i/item/9789241547727).  However, our case discussion will focus on our own research.
