Ethics Statement The WI Ethics Committee, in keeping with the DCU Strategic Plan 2022-25, develop and promote a set of Core Ethical Principles for Water Institute members. These will draw on RRI and research integrity best practice in DCU, Europe and globally, and impact on how and to whom we collaborate.

The Water Institute Ethics Committee will promote RIS Research Integrity module and other relevant resources, including encompassing Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) within the Water Institute.

• WIEC will disseminate ethics information and resources on ethics topics relevant to WI members through workshops and seminars.

• Develop a strong communication and dialogue process on ethical principles and integrity in research and facilitate an Open Forum for discussion on emerging ethical issues in the research and innovation landscape.
