“Research is essential to generate innovative knowledge and evidence-based interventions to improve people’s lives. The exponential increase in scientific knowledge has created a demand for effective systems that make use of innovative technology and novel approaches to enable wider use and popularization. Research as a social activity should result in better health and better quality of life for its target beneficiaries and the general population. Research with human participants should be conducted responsibly with proper attribution of duties and moral obligations among various stakeholders including the sponsor, the investigator, the research ethics committee, the institution, regulators, and public health authorities. The conference aims to foster dialogue and collaboration among researchers, ethicists, and policymakers to promote ethical practices in research. By providing a platform for the exchange of ideas, the conference seeks to enhance the integrity and impact of research through adherence to ethical standards and guidelines. This conference underscores the importance of ethical considerations in research design, implementation, and dissemination. It highlights the role of ethical guidelines in protecting human subjects, promoting scientific soundness, and maximizing the societal benefits of research. By bringing together a diverse group of stakeholders, the conference aims to inspire new collaborations and innovations that will contribute to the global advancement of ethical research practices.”
