At the 36th meeting of the National Ethics Councils (NEC Forum), titled Ethics and Values in a Rapidly Changing World and held at European University Cyprus in Nicosia, Cyprus, on 23–24 April, our colleague Dr Anaïs Resseguier, Principal Research Consultant at Trilateral Research, delivered an engaging presentation of the RE4GREEN project’s core activities and achievements. This biannual gathering brings together European ethics councils in the country holding the rotating presidency of the Council of Europe, creating a vibrant space for exchanging ideas and sharing ongoing work on ethical issues across member states.
As part of a session dedicated to environmental ethics, our colleague introduced RE4GREEN with enthusiasm, highlighting its key ambition: to meaningfully integrate environmental ethics into research ethics and integrity frameworks, and in doing so, strengthen the research community’s role in advancing the Green Transition.
She also shed light on the project’s main research efforts, including the extensive review work carried out and the dynamic engagement with stakeholders through social labs. The presentation concluded with a forward-looking overview of both the outputs already available and those in development, with particular emphasis on the ethics and integrity guidelines and the training modules hosted on the Embassy of Good Science platform.
