Upload by Melati

This deliverable presents the Ethical Label (EL) template implemented by Work Package 13 within the ENVRIplus project. The EL template is designed to identify and highlight ethical and social aspects related to ENVRIplus deliverables, extending beyond technical-scientific characteristics. It provides user-friendly tables covering product type, affected field, accessibility, end-users, potential impact, area concerned, and potential misuse. It also proposes a coordination-office procedure for EL compilation, verification, modifications, and approval.

The EL template is provided in Appendix A. The EL will identify and highlight ethical and social peculiarities of “activities, products, and data”(deliverables) undertaken within and/or resulting from the ENVRIplus project. This implies that authors of ENVRIplus deliverables are asked to use the EL in order to give essential information about the ethical and social implications of their project output. The specificity of the EL template is to provide additional information to the description of the technical-scientific characteristics usually associated to deliverables. The EL template is structured as a user-friendly tool, with different tables related to: “type of product”, “field affected”, “accessibility”, “end-users”, “potential impact”, “area concerned”,“potential misuse”. The table “summary” groups information selected in the previous sections of the table into a simple format, useful to tag a deliverable. Finally, a procedure to approve the EL associated to an ENVRIplus deliverable is suggested. The procedure should be managed by the coordination office of ENVRIplus, in order to accomplish the following steps: compilation, verification, modifications, approval.

It is driven by three overarching goals: 1) promoting cross-fertilization between infrastructures, 2) implementing innovative concepts and devices across RIs, and 3) facilitating research and innovation in the field of environment for an increasing number of users outside the RIs. ENVRIplus aligns its activities to a core strategic plan where sharing multi-disciplinary expertise will be most effective. The project aims to improve Earth observation monitoring systems and strategies, including actions to improve harmonization and innovation, and generate common solutions to many shared information technology and data related challenges. It also seeks to harmonize policies for access and provide strategies for knowledge transfer amongst RIs. ENVRIp
