Public Legitimacy of Digital Research Methods in Switzerland: a public deliberation project

Citizens are providing more and more data in the public domain that are accessible to researchers. However, citizens are not able to consent to this type of research except this is covered in the terms and conditions of a webpage or online application (which are often not read). This project aims to develop a public legitimacy framework for digital methods to address ethical challenges in relation to the use of digital research methods. This project is a joint initiative from UNIGE and the University of Zurich (UZH).
