WP4 (TA CR) – Ethics requirements

This work package sets out the 'ethics requirements' that the project must comply with.

Delivery 4.1 (TA čR)

Human participants (stakeholders) will be involved in the project during the dissemination and exploitation phase. This includes events, seminars, webinars and video conferences. Additionally, in order to achieve transnational cooperation in evaluation processes to select the most promising innovation projects the project will use experts (internal and external). An international panel is planned to be introduced during the project. The purpose of the panel is to rank the most promising projects and boost their potential for scale-up via additional services, which will be developed by the Consortium and possibly provided by various experts. However, the proposal does not clearly define how these experts will be selected or recruited.

For host institutions not required to appoint a DPO under the GDPR a detailed data protection policy for the project must be submitted as a deliverable.

4.4 The beneficiary must explain how all of the data they intend to process is relevant and limited to the purposes of the research project (in accordance with the ‘data minimisation ‘principle). This must be submitted as a deliverable.

4.6 A description of the technical and organisational measures that will be implemented to safeguard the rights and freedoms of the data subjects/research participants must be submitted as a deliverable. 

4.7 A description of the security measures that will be implemented to prevent unauthorised access to personal data or the equipment used for processing must be submitted as a deliverable. 

4.9 In case personal data are transferred from the EU to a non-EU country or international organisation, confirmation that such transfers are in accordance with Chapter V of the General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679, must be kept on file. 

4.10 In case personal data are transferred from a non-EU country to the EU (or another third state), confirmation that such transfers comply with the laws of the country in which the data was collected must be kept on file. 

4.11 Detailed information on the informed consent procedures in regard to data processing must be kept on file. 

4.12 Templates of the informed consent forms and information sheets (in language and terms intelligible to the participants) must be kept on file.

Methodology and tools

The consortium of the GO-SME project consists of 15 members, RFO’s.

The roles of consortium members are different and thus the range of personal and other data they are going to deal with is different as well. 

The Coordinator, work package, and task leaders will deal with the personal data of consortium members and data that participants must submit as a deliverable. 

RFO which is going to launch a call for proposals under the GO-SME project may deal with the data of applicants, beneficiaries, evaluators, and coaches.  

As each assigned point concerns each RFO, TA CR as the Coordinator asked each member to comment on each point. RFOs input their statements in the shared document. (All mentioned attachments are kept on file.)
