Subject: Development, production, or use of dual-use items in SPARTA

Hello all,

We are required by the EC to have a deliverable about how to handle dual-use aspects in SPARTA. We began to make a first draft that you can see here: https://sparta.technikon.com/03-WPs/WP14-Ethics-requirements/Deliverables/D14.1/  It integrates mainly what is already in the DoA, with a little bit more details about potential mitigation measures ; in particular, we consider that dual-use aspects is ultimately the responsibility of each partner which is required to get the appropriate authorizations from relevant authorities as needed, SPARTA may only offer support for identification and mitigation. Feedback already provided by the Ethics Committee will be integrated soon.

Meanwhile, could you please do a self-assessment of potential development, production, or use of dual-use items in the Activity or Program you lead? Some documentation which may help you:

• http://ec.europa.eu/research/participants/data/ref/h2020/grants_manual/hi/ethics/h2020_hi_ethics-self-assess_en.pdf
• http://ec.europa.eu/research/participants/data/ref/h2020/other/hi/guide_research-dual-use_en.pdf
• http://ec.europa.eu/trade/import-and-export-rules/export-from-eu/dual-use-controls/index_en.htm

Please reply by June 21 even if the answer is no. If you are not sure, please get back to us as soon as possible so we can handle the situation appropriately and be in time for the deliverable for which we must have a final draft by July 2.

Best regards,
