Abstract
To facilitate international collaboration and foster an institutional culture of ethical reflection, the Berlin Social Science Center (WZB) is developing its own research ethics policy. While drawing from international ethical principles developed for medical research, the WZB policy intends to be appropriate to social science research and the needs of a German institute. It also aims to balance scientific autonomy with protecting research subjects.
