The purpose of the CEU Ethical Research Policy is to establish the principles and responsibilities for ethical conduct in research by the members of the CEU community. As a research intensive university, CEU values and protects academic freedom while safeguards ethical principles in research such as respect for persons and their welfare and justice.

This Policy applies to all areas of University operations and programs. It applies not only to conduct within the buildings used by the CEU Group (including the CEU Residence and Conference Center and other dormitory facilities that may be provided by the CEU Group), but also to CEU Group-related activities that may occur elsewhere, such as on field trips, at CEU Group-sponsored events, at occasions related to the educational mission of the CEU Group. It also applies to conduct occurring outside any of these places if it happens between members of the University Community and affects their performance in CEU Group activities.  The Policy applies to the conduct of all Employees (including temporary and part-time employees) and all Students, as well as to the conduct of those who are guests of or who do business with the CEU Group.

POLICY STATEMENT
Central European University (“CEU”) recognizes that trafficking in persons is inherently harmful, dehumanizing, and contrary to CEU’s mission and values. CEU has a zero-tolerance policy for trafficking in persons and is committed to high standards of ethics and integrity and compliance with all laws applicable to CEU and CEU Affiliates (as defined in 3.1).

BACKGROUND

The Plan is an inseparable Annex to the Policy.
