Issues and background. During execution of ▇▇▇▇▇, both ethical and security aspects may come to the fore. ATLAS shall take care of security and information sensitivity aspects to protect European citizen as well as public and private information. For both the ethical and security related aspects, this project handbook describes the specific project measures and procedures that all ATLAS consortium partners shall adhere to. The ATLAS consortium will make sure that all guidelines for ethical and security assessment as well as conducted research activities over the lifetime of the project will comply with relevant EU directives and regulations as previously identified in the ATLAS Grant Agreement, Annex I, part B, Section 5.

It is important to establish a project environment that stimulates responsible behaviour and a reflexive attitude in relation to ethical issues. ATLAS partners seek for full compliance with ethical principles (including the standards of research integrity, avoiding fabrication, falsification, plagiarism or other research conduct, and applicable to international, EU and national law). The ATLAS consortium adopts the European Code of Conduct for Research Integrity [6]. The ATLAS consortium follows the policies on classified information and security rules for protecting classified information, as laid down in the EU Council Decision for protecting EU classified inf...
