OUR WORK
Research ethics in practice
Education, dialogue, resources and collaboration across disciplines and sectors.
REA advances understanding and practice in research ethics through education, interdisciplinary dialogue, practical resources, community activity and collaboration. Our work connects people across disciplines and sectors, including academia, charities, not-for-profit organisations, education and the wider public.
We treat research ethics as an ongoing part of responsible research—not only a stage of approval. Our work supports thoughtful decision-making before, during and after research.
