Abstract

Glavna razlika med 7. OP / FP7 (7. okvirni program za raziskave in tehnološki razvoj / Seventh Framework Programme, 2007–2013) v primerjavi s 6. OP / FP6 (6. okvirni program za raziskave in tehnološki razvoj / Sixth Framework Programme, 2002–2006) je v tem, da morajo projekti, ki so bodisi usmerjeni v krepitev znanstveno-tehnološke podlage industrije, projekti, ki spodbujajo mednarodno konkurenčnost ter raziskave, ki podpirajo politiko Evropske unije, vsebovati tudi natančen opis o etiki raziskovalnega dela. Presojevalci ga ocenijo, ko je že dosežena ocena znanstvene primernosti. Eno od desetih znanstvenih področij, kamor sodijo etnološke, antropološke in folkloristične raziskave, so t. i. družbeno-ekonomske in humanistične vede, in tudi za to področje velja, da so lahko financirane samo raziskave, ki imajo jasno izdelana etična načela, ki upoštevajo nacionalne zakone, mednarodne protokole, konvencije in listine ter dobijo privolitev nacionalnih etičnih komisij. Vse to pa pomeni, da morajo tudi humanistične discipline jasno oblikovati in premisliti etična načela, vanje vključiti sodobne pravne norme, da sploh smejo upati na sredstva, namenjena za raziskave, podprte s sredstvi Evropske komisije.

The main difference between FP7 (Seventh Framework Programme, 2007-2013) and FP6 (Sixth Framework Programme, 2002-2006) is in ethical dimension of project evaluation. All projects in FP7 that enhance international concurrence, scientific and technological growth of industry and all projects, which support the EU policy, must be carried out in compliance with fundamental ethical principles. The ethics of research is part of scientific evaluation of the project. Socio-economic sciences and Humanities is one of the ten scientific fields, where we find ethnology, anthropology and folklore, and where the financing is possible if the research proposals include clear ethical principles, consideration of national acts, international protocols, conventions, charters and if they get the approval of national ethics commissions. All these mean that Humanities must clearly form and reflect ethical principles and include modern legal norms in their applications if they want to be funded from the institutions of European Commission.
