The Research Ethics Service hosts听weekly drop-in sessions to help resolve听queries related to ethics听review processes and activities managed by the team. You can also contact the team by email at any time.听
Summer 2024 Update:听Please be aware that these sessions are only available during the academic term (September to June). There will be no drop-ins after Thursday 06 June until September, but we can arrange ad hoc support as needed over summer.
When to attend
All staff and research students are welcome to attend these sessions. In the first instance, we encourage听student researchers to seek advice and guidance from their supervisor or ethics lead within their department.听If additional assistance is needed,听please register for a drop-in session.
Drop in session can be used to:
- clarify if your research needs ethics review
- gain advice on the appropriate level of research ethics review
- discuss complex ethical aspects of your research and how best to address in your application
If you would like to check on the progress of a current application, please email ethics@ucl.ac.uk听rather than book a drop-in slot.听
How to attend
These sessions are held during term time (Sept-June)听on Thursdays at 2-3pm and appointments听last approximately 20听minutes. Please register your interest by completing the booking form below.听You will be asked to provide a听short summary of your research ethics query and your ethics ID number听if your query relates to an existing registered application (e.g. how to address feedback).听
Upon submission of the Qualtrics form, you will receive a 20-minute meeting invitation and the听Teams meeting link. Students are welcome to forward the appointment to their supervisor if they wish. Two colleagues from the Research Ethics Service will be present to take notes.听Please note, slots are allocated on a first come, first served basis.
