Common use of Recruitment Process Clause in Contracts

Recruitment Process. As mentioned before, the WP2 activities that potentially foresee human participation and informed consent procedures are those related to T2.1 “Analysis of User and Cybersecurity Requirements”. This task has the primary goal to specify the different types of users of the SPIDER platform, considering both cyber security experts as well as non-experts, using different real users' profiles with a variety of expertise and multiple professional orientations. Based on the stakeholder categories identified in T2.1 and presented in section 4.1, it has been concluded that either members of the SPIDER partners or members of the network of the SPIDER partners with legal relationships already established will be used as participants in the requirement elicitation process. Accordingly, there will be no open call for participation. The SPIDER partners involved in the requirements collection have an extended knowledge base within the colleagues with proper experience that will provide the required support for WP2. There are benefits with this approach: • the stakeholders involved can be selected being both relevant and appropriate to the project; • the participants will be more easily accessible by the SPIDER partners and the managerial issues (i.e., training, meetings and briefing) can be handled in a structured, organised and efficient way); and • the participants can be selected in order not to be biased or related to SPIDER in any way. Details about the planned activities for the requirements collection along with indications of how the involvement of the participants in the research activities of WP2 is organized can be found in the Deliverable D9.1 (“H - Requirement No. 1”). The presented analysis highlighted that no evidence of an ethics risk exists for the research participants given that they will be asked to fill in an anonymous online questionnaire, where no personal data will be collected. However, in fulfilment of relevant ethics requirements, the information sheet and the consent form templates are annexed to the Deliverable D9.1 (“H-Requirement No.1).
