The ebook edition of this title is Open Access and freely available
to read online. The EU-funded PRO-RES Project aimed to produce a
guidance framework that helps to deliver Responsible Research and
Innovation (RRI). PRO-RES is a Horizon 2020 project coordinated by
the European Science Foundation (ESF), involving 14 different
partners across Europe. As one of a series of open access products
of the Project, Ethical Issues in Covert, Security and Surveillance
Research will be placed in the hands of policymakers and their
advisors to offer practical and efficient ways to respond to the
issues addressed. Understanding that the problem of covert research
and surveillance research for security purposes have proven highly
challenging for all research ethics appraisal services, the
chapters here are valuable resources for expert reviewers, helping
further the discussion of these complex ethical issues, and raising
the standards applied to the process. Delivering an applied
approach, and influencing where it counts, this volume showcases
that it is only when the integrity of research is carefully pursued
can users of the evidence produced be assured of its value and its
ethical credentials.
EPDF and EPUB available Open Access under CC-BY-NC-ND licence. This
important book offers practical advice for using evidence and
research in policymaking. The book has two aims. First, it builds a
case for ethics and global values in research and knowledge
exchange, and second, it examines specific policy areas and how
evidence can guide practice. The book covers important policy areas
including the GM debate, the environment, Black Lives Matter and
COVID-19. Each chapter assesses the ethical challenges, the status
of evidence in explaining or describing the issue and possible
solutions to the problem. The book will enable policymakers and
their advisors to seek evidence for their decisions from research
that has been conducted ethically and with integrity.

This Open Access book provides illustrative case studies that
explore various research and innovation topics that raise
challenges requiring ethical reflection and careful policymaking
responses. The cases highlight diverse ethical challenges and
provide lessons for the various options available for policymaking.
Cases are drawn from many fields, including artificial
intelligence, space science, energy, data protection, professional
research practice and pandemic planning. Case studies are
particularly helpful with ethical issues to provide crucial
context. This book reflects the ambiguity of ethical dilemmas in
contemporary policymaking. Analyses reflect current debates where
consensus has not yet been achieved. These cases illustrate key
points made throughout the PRO-RES EU-funded project from which
they arise: that ethical judgement is a fluid enterprise, where
values, principles and standards must constantly adjust to new
situations, new events and new research developments. This book is
an indispensable aid to policymaking that addresses, and/or uses
evidence from, novel research developments.
