They are responsible for research ethics governance, such as managing and supporting EMBL&#8217;s internal research ethics committees, providing the secretariat for the EMBL Ethics Board, and for delivering an ethics risk and assurance function. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Applications for approval from the relevant EMBL Ethics Committee or Data Access Committee must be made via our online Ethics Application Portal, which is linked below. All application forms and checklists of documents to be are provided are included on our Bioethics Governance page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bioethics Services also run the EMBL Ethics Academy, which provides training on Bioethics, Data Ethics and Workplace Ethics, as well as delivering an engagement workstream. The Science &amp; Society Programme, which focuses on external engagement, aims to create a platform for dialogue and debate, allowing EMBL to examine the ethical, legal, and social implications (ELSi) of scientific research. In addition, Bioethics Services coordinate EMBL REIGN (Research Ethics, Integrity &amp; Governance Network), an internal group created to facilitate open discussion on all ethics-related issues at EMBL.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"\"><!--[vf\/content]-->\n<div class=\"vf-content\">\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<style>\n    <\/style>\n\n<section id=\"wp-block-1\">\n  <div
