To ensure good scientific practice and compliance with subject-specific and ethical standards, the Institutional Review Board of the Faculty of Mathematics and Economics has been founded according to the resolution of the faculty council from May 7, 2025.
The IRB-MAWI advises, upon request, researchers of the Faculty of Mathematics and Economics at Ulm University on subject-specific requirements and standards in the field of economics when conducting empirical studies. If these are met, applicants receive a confirmation ("IRB approval"), which can also be used when submitting research papers to academic journals.
The procedures of the IRB-MAWI are guided by the subject-specific recommendations of the Verein für Socialpolitik (German Economic Association), the European Economic Association (EEA), the Academy of Management (AOM), the DFG Review Board 112 "Economic Sciences," as well as the Statutes of Ulm University for Ensuring Good Scientific Practice.
Applications can be submitted if at least one of the project members is also a member of the Faculty of Mathematics and Economics at Ulm University, the project has not been rejected by any other institutional review board, ethics committee, or comparable body, and no professional (or legal) responsibility lies with another committee.
