Scientific Research


Within the scope of its mission as a higher education institution, Nucleus University is committed to the promotion of scientific research as one of its main objectives, aiming not only to produce and disseminate knowledge, but also to valorize the activity of its researchers, lecturers and students.

In this context, you may be asked to collaborate on projects run by members of the Nucleus University community as part of their study cycles or research activities. The specific data to be collected and the purpose of their collection will depend on the research project in question, as will the format of the study itself, which may vary from surveys to clinical studies with or without intervention. Regardless, your participation will always be voluntary and your personal data will only be processed with your consent, in strict compliance with the highest ethical standards recognized by the scientific community.
