This is the framework on ethical impact assessment defined by SATORI Project and approved by the European Committee for Standardisation by a CEN Workshop agreement CWA17145-2. The framework is focused on innovation and it has been developed on the basis of an analysis of existing research practices and their results. It consists of two parts. Part 1 makes recommendations for the composition, role, functioning, and procedures of ethics committees. Part 2 provides researchers and organisations with guidance on an ethical impact assessment; a comprehensive approach for ethically assessing the actual and potential mid- and long-term impacts of research and innovation on society. The document contains also terms and definitions; a description of the phases of ethical assessment and of the possible tools to be used.
Part of interest: See in particular part 2.
