Presentation:   Data Ethics Decision Aid
DEDA helps users to recognize ethical issues in data projects, data management and data policies. Developed in close cooperation with data analysts from the City of Utrecht, DEDA is a tool-kit facilitating initial brainstorming sessions to map ethical issues in data projects, documenting the deliberation process and furthering accountability towards the various stakeholders and the public.

Chris Olivers (MSc 1996, Nijmegen; PhD 2001, Birmingham) is Professor of Visual Cognition, a subfield of the cognitive (neuro)sciences. His lab studies visual perception in humans, using both behavioural and neurophysiological methods. He is currently Chair of the Scientific and Ethics Review Board of the Faculty of Behavioural and Movement Science at the Vrije Universiteit, of a VU university-wide ethics collaboration, and of the National Ethics Council for Social and Behavioural Sciences (www.nethics.nl).

Presentation:   Ethics Review in the Social and Behavioural Sciences
The ethics of conducting research on humans has been part and parcel of the social and behavioural sciences for decades. However, although the underlying principles have proven stable, the practical application and implementation of ethics assessment has proven variable, with different procedures depending on specific subfields, committees, Zeitgeist, and law. I will present on the recent efforts to both harmonize and strengthen ethics assessment across the Netherlands, on both new and ever-returning challenges, and on tips for practical implementation.
