Submitting the request
If you would like to submit a request for review to the WISO Ethics Committee, view this page for all necessary information.
Step 1: Completing the request form
The first step is to complete the WISO Ethics Committee request form and prepare all further documents required for the request.
According to Article 30 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), all activities for which personal information needs to be processed must be listed in a record of processing activities (RoPA). For research projects conducted at the University of Hamburg, the University’s data protection team is responsible. Check to see if you need a RoPA for your research project or if pursuant to the GDPR you need a data protection review based on the research data checklist.
Step 2: Submitting the request
Once you have completed the request form accurately and correctly, signed it by hand, and attached supporting documents to the form (in a single document), send this using the input screen below to the WISO Ethics Committee at the University of Hamburg.
You will receive confirmation of receipt of your request form. Note that the standard review procedure generally takes 3 to 6 months. The fast-track review procedure for low-risk studies generally takes 6 weeks.
