: The research project passed an ethics screening and review by the Ethics Committee of the University of Vienna (Votum 00380, 20.10.2018) and the Ethics Unit of the European Research Council. The research was carried out in line with the highest ethical standards and the applicable EU, international and national law on ethical principles and data protection law, as required by the European Research Council to ensure informed consent of all participants in the study and appropriate data collection and storage. Participants of our research were not vulnerable persons. (Extract from the ERC ethics review response, October 2018: “Research participants are function owners (state representatives, experts, public servants, scientists, researchers) and the project was exclusively interested in collecting non-sensitive data, respecting the privacy of each participant. Participants were not exposed to any risk that exceeds the risk that participants expose themselves by participating in international negotiations and/or working in their work environment, where they will be interviewed/observed. The research project did not collect or process sensitive data and respects the privacy of each participant by following the principle of confidentiality and by implementing related technical, organisational and security measures.”).
