Conference

Research Ethics Day at the University of Bergen 2025

It is fundamental for a knowledge-based society that the research underpinning policy is trustworthy. It is thus crucial that research is conducted to the highest ethical standards. To increase awareness of the importance of research ethics at the University of Bergen, we have established an annual research ethics day. This year’s conference has the main theme of ‘Research Ethics After AI.’ We look forward to a day of meaningful discussion on this important topic.
