Under the patronage of Dr. Tarek Ali, Acting President of Beni Suef University, the Supreme Committee for Scientific Research Ethics at the university —in collaboration with the Faculty of Development Social Service—organized a workshop this November titled "Scientific Research Ethics in the Social Sciences and Humanities, and the Operational Mechanisms of University Ethics Committees." This initiative reflects the commitment to promoting responsible research practices and upholding academic integrity.
This was carried out under the supervision of Dr. Hindawi Abdallahi Hassan, Dean of the Faculty , and Dr. Fatima Hanafi, Chair of the Supreme Committee for Research Ethics. The process was facilitated by Dr. Amal Abdel Ghani, Secretary of the Committee; Dr. Mohamed Abdel Rahim, Vice Dean for Postgraduate Studies; and Dr. Noha Mohamed Hilal, Head of the Department of Social Work with Communities and Organizations and a member of the Supreme Committee for Research Ethics.
The workshop was presented by Dr. Hisham Abdel Hamid, Professor of the Psychology of Special Needs Groups at the Faculty of Arts, and a member of the Supreme Committee for Scientific Research Ethics. The event saw a notable turnout of faculty members and researchers, led by Dr. Ayman Sayed Saeed, Head of the Social Work Fields Department and Chair of the Subcommittee for Scientific Research Ethics at the faculty—who was joined by all other members of the subcommittee—along with a large number of academic support staff and researchers from the Faculty, who engaged in productive discussions.
The university president explained that the workshop addressed several key scientific topics, including the importance of adhering to ethical standards when conducting scientific research, the necessity of protecting the rights of participants and ensuring their privacy, and an examination of the pivotal role played by university ethics committees—along with their operational mechanisms—in ensuring the integrity and rigor of research outcomes.
For his part, Dr. Hindawi Abdallahi expressed his appreciation for the role of the Supreme Committee for Research Ethics in promoting a culture of academic integrity and establishing the principles of sound research practice. He emphasized that the Faculty of Development Social Service prioritizes adherence to research ethics, aiming to cultivate a generation of researchers equipped with the necessary awareness and a strong sense of ethical and professional responsibility. This, in turn, enhances the value of scientific output, serving societal needs and supporting the state’s objectives toward sustainable development.
