Ecologic Institute supports the Horizon 2020 project "Arctic Research Icebreaker Consortium" (ARICE) with Arne Riedel as an Ehics advisor. His role includes inter alia

giving advice on specific ethical issues that could occur in research projects to be conducted on the research icebreakers;
assessing cruise reports to confirm that H2020 ethical rules have been implemented;
