Ethics Portal Focus points
The Ethics Portal
The Ethics Portal is a website for all NTNU employees, and focuses on ethical dilemmas relating to research and personnel issues.
The aim is to stimulate ethical reflection at all levels at NTNU: by the individual employee/PhD candidate/student, by the various units, and by management at different levels in the organization.
The points below present specific cases based on episodes and constellations of cases from NTNU. The presentation of these cases has been recast to some extent where this was necessary to protect anonymity. What the cases have in common is that they represent dilemmas and issues that are not easy to resolve by referring to ethical guidelines and regulations. You are welcome to use these cases as a starting point for discussion.
Each case is followed by questions, comments, and relevant links to guidelines and regulations.
