Co-producing ethics: A scoping exercise to map the impact of ethics procedures on collaborative research projects.: Kakela, Emmaleena (Principal Investigator) Kanyumi, David Henry (Co-investigator); This project will scope possible directions for reforming ethics practices towards a more inclusive and agile approach, without compromising highest standards in research integrity. The project will map the barriers and potential for shaping ethics processes to better enable researchers collaborating with non-academic partners to actively think, participate and navigate research ethics as a process throughout the lifecycle of their studies. Through engaging with colleagues engaged in co-production across HaSS disciplines, the project will theorise the tensions and directions for ethical collaborations for projects bridging differing organisational cultures.; 02-Jan-2024 - 01-Jan-2024
