The mission of the FLUP Ethics Committee (CEFLUP) is to provide a service to the FLUP community (students, teachers, researchers, technical, professional and management staff). The Committee is an institutional forum where the adequacy of standards and codes of conduct that must be observed while exercising one’s academic, scientific and professional activities in general, are analysed and pondered to meet the institution's purposes.
The CEFLUP's mission is also to promote high-quality scientific research based on the strictest ethical principles, to help the FLUP community prevent and solve any ethical problems, perplexities or dysfunctions while performing their academic and scientific activities. To this end, the CEFLUP is responsible for issuing opinions and publishing studies that are indispensable for the support and guidance of decision-making procedures that have collective repercussions, and in the public interest.
Currently, the Ethics Committee is chaired by Professor Maria Isabel Dias.
