Research Ethics
BTU Cottbus-Senftenberg is aware of the tension between research interests and the responsibility of research and its possible effects on society and people. We attach importance to compliance with ethical standards in research, the establishment of appropriate framework conditions, and the sensitization of researchers to this important topic area.

The ethics committee of the BTU Cottbus-Senftenberg deals on the basis of its statutes with questions concerning the possible use of research results for non-peaceful purposes as well as research projects on humans and animals and gives recommendations (ethics votes) to employees and students.
