EUREMAP Scientific and ethical advisory board interviews are now available, offering in-depth reflections from leading experts on ethics, integrity, and sustainability in marine research across Europe.
The project brings together scientists, policymakers, and ethics specialists to ensure that marine ecosystem mapping follows the highest standards of responsible research and innovation (RRI). The recently published EUREMAP Scientific and ethical advisory board interviews highlight how ethical principles guide collaboration, data sharing, and the responsible use of ocean knowledge.
““in terms of ethical challenge, people think about sourcing and all this kind of stuff. But in fact, ethical includes dialogues and getting the public on board, because that comes even later on when you’re trying to sell them as, you know, drugs or commercialized things.” said one board member during the interviews.
Role of the EUREMAP Scientific and ethical advisory board
The EUREMAP Scientific and ethical advisory board provides independent guidance on ethical governance and research integrity. Its members represent fields such as marine biology, social sciences, environmental policy, and bioethics. Through their work, they ensure that EUREMAP’s activities respect human values, environmental protection, and open science principles.
“I feel very confident that EUREMAP will, I think that they’ve been set up well and ethics has been part of the discussion from day one”
Why These Interviews Matter
Ethical reflection is essential for understanding the social and environmental dimensions of scientific discovery. The EUREMAP Scientific and ethical advisory board interviews explore how moral responsibility, transparency, and collaboration can support a more sustainable future for European marine ecosystems.
