A Conflict Sensitive Approach to Field Research - Doing Any Better?
SWISS ACADEMIES REPORTS, VOL. 12, NO 5, 2017
Ist Forschung auch in politisch instabilen Ländern unbedenklich, solange sie nur methodisch objektiv und politisch neutral erfolgt? Der Report «A Conflict Sensitive Approach to Field Research - Doing Any Better?» zeigt in acht Beispielen, wie bewusst geführte Forschung in Konfliktsituationen Forschende und deren Partner schützen und Wege zur Entschärfung der Spannungen aufzeigen kann.

Ethical guidelines for animal experiments
The Swiss Animal Welfare Act permits the use of animals for certain scientific purposes; at the same time, however, it requires that the dignity of animals be respected and their welfare protected. For researchers, reconciling these various societal interests can be challenging. The ethical guidelines for animal experiments (2025) are designed to clarify the margin of discretion left by the legislation and to encourage researchers to reflect on the handling of animals in their experiments. The decisive factors for updating the previous version from 2005 were new scientific knowledge and research methods on the one hand, as well as changes in the legal framework on the other.
