Research and science are caught between the conflicting priorities of academic freedom and academic responsibility. TUD Dresden University of Technology has established the Committee for Responsibility in Science to strengthen and raise awareness of the responsibility of science for its research and research results.
The Committee for Responsibility in Science supports researchers by advising and assessing ethical and legal aspects of issues relevant to safety in cases where significant risks to human dignity, life, health, freedom, property, the environment or peaceful coexistence could be associated with a research project.
Evaluating and safeguarding the scientific integrity of research projects involving human and animal research is not part of the Committee for Responsibility in Science's duties.
