CODE OF ETHICS, OBLIGATIONS, AND VALUES
Guidelines for Participating Institutions, Professors, and Students
Teaching and learning during Eurocampus imply constructive, reflective and critical discussions of academic content and didactic methods as well as grading, evaluation, and feedback. All participants, professors, students, as well as the institutions making up EMICC (European Masters of Communication) are expected to abide by standards of professional responsibility, ethics, and fairness. EMICC follows the Guidelines for an Institutional Code of Ethics in Higher Education, formulated by IAE (International Association of Universities) and MCO (Magna Carta Observatory) in December 2012.
Values and Ethics in Intercultural Communication Studies
Participants in Eurocampus should be aware of values and multifaceted ethical implications in intercultural communication studies, regarding topics, methodology, and application of research results. In the view of the organizers, intercultural communication as a field of study should contribute to peaceful communication with, and mutual understanding of, culturally defined Others, and not contribute to culturally defined or legitimized conflict or domination of one group over another.
