Global Ethics Learning Hub

The Global Ethics Learning Hub (GELH) aims to oversee and provide guidance on the ethical conduct of all relevant research activities within Pakistan Institute of Living & Learning (PILL) and uphold guiding principles of ethical integrity and good governance. As described in PILL’s ethics policy, GELH aims to facilitate sound decision making that respects the values, concerns, and interests of the organization and society at large.

PILL is committed to upholding and maintaining the highest quality of academic and ethical standards in all its activities. PILL’s governance and ethics policies and procedures recognise the importance of addressing ethical matters for all research purposes. Research ethics is central to all research activities. PILL has a governance framework within which all employees of PILL must act when engaging in research or knowledge exchange.

Ethical standards, including appropriate training, expertise, and care, are strongly advocated for researchers. We endeavor to develop a robust ethical framework for researchers to avoid the risk of harm and advance best practices in research. Ethical standards confirm that research is conducted safely and meets agreed principles, standards, and codes of research practice for participants and society. At PILL, the research staff is regularly trained in good clinical practice (GCP) by national and international experts to keep up with the guidelines.

We are working on the following work streams and the work stream leads are:
