Ethics Committee for the Faculty of Business, Economics and Social Sciences (WISO)
The ethics committee for the Faculty of Business, Economics and Social Sciences at the University of Hamburg (WISO) has been set up to judge ethical matters in research conducted in the WISO’s departments.
The WISO Ethics Commission must ensure that research in and by the faculty is conducted in accordance with the ethical standards established in the individual subject areas. It also advises members of the faculty who have questions about the ethical aspects of their research and raises awareness about research ethics.
See the FAQ for more information about the ethics commission, related topics, who has the right to submit requests, and review procedures.
Submitting the request
If you would like to have the WISO Ethics Committee review ethical concerns related to your research project, you must submit a request to the WISO Ethics Committee.
When you plan your project, be aware that a standard review procedure generally takes between 3 and 6 months starting from the receipt of the request.
