To achieve the main goals of the proposed research program, some ethical issues must be taken into consideration. For this purpose, the LISA Ethics Committee (EC) has been formed.

It is comprised of one chair person and four different experts in radiation protection, personal dosimetry, environmental impacts, and pre-clinical and clinical studies.

The members of the EC are not directly involved in the research project to guarantee their impartial assessment. The EC does not replace or supplement any local ethics review board, but rather complements them by assuring that the same high ethical standards are shared by all the Beneficiaries and Partners of the LISA network.
