D9.3 Ethics Plan

The D9.3 Ethics Plan, developed within WP9 – Management, Coordination & Ethics, outlines the StreamSCAPES consortium’s strategy for ensuring the highest standards of research integrity and ethical conduct throughout the project. Addressing the interdisciplinary and empirical nature of the work on the sustainable climate transition of Video-On-Demand platforms in the Cultural and Creative Industries, the Plan details procedures for GDPR compliance, participant protection (including minors and vulnerable groups) and responsible research practices. Guided by contributions from all partners, the Plan supports the internal Ethics Committee in monitoring and evaluating ethical compliance, clarifies areas not fully specified in the original proposal, and establishes concrete actions and ongoing measures to ensure stakeholder protection, societal and environmental benefits, and adherence to EU-funded research best practices.
