There are several reasons to ask for advice from an ethics committee:

  • Societal considerations: it's important to assess whether your research is in line with the ethical standards prevailing in society.
  • Legal certainty: you need to consider whether your research could potentially lead to legal consequences and how to mitigate these risks.
  • Risks of dual use and unintended use of results.
