Report about EOSCpilot WP3 Ethics Survey

The EOSCpilot project has recently published draft policy recommendations (deliverable 3.3) as a step towards establishing the required policy environment to support the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC). The inclusion of ethical principles and policies are of fundamental importance to the EOSC, but it is difficult to anticipate all the ethical issues that may emerge as the scientific, technical, social and political landscape evolves. Therefore, a survey was performed to collect feedback on the proposals made from the different key stakeholder groups, plus explore how the draft recommendations can be integrated into the ‘policy supporting services’ that now need to be developed. This document summarises methods and results of the EOSCpilot ethics survey.
