Ethical issues and legislation

In collaboration, AU Datalab and DIGETIK invite all researchers – including PhD students working with digital material and facing ethical and legal dilemmas in this regard to participate in a one-day research seminar focusing on the perils and practices of researching our increasingly digitally saturated social lives.

The aim of the seminar is to bring together researchers whose empirical material is partly or entirely digital, in order to discuss the ethical and legal dimensions of their research projects.

Through presentations and discussion of current legal and ethical frameworks and through discussions of how we as researchers do actually go about doing our research in ethically sound ways, we hope to:

1) render visible current “best practices” of digital research

2) inquire the dilemmas of these practices in order to support digital researchers in navigating the murky waters of digital ethics

Not least, the aim of the seminar is to improve, qualify, and empower ethical decision-making in digital research.

PhD students will be awarded 1 ECTS-point for their participation. Suggested readings will be sent out by e-mail in the beginning of November.
