This article stands on the argument that contemporary society could be labeled as “the consent society”. The need to protect fundamental rights in the so-called knowledge society increasingly leads to the emergence of conscious and free practices of consent in citizens’ day-to-day lives. This logic extends from the world of consumption to the universe of the daily use of applications for mobile devices, passing, inevitably, by research practices. Starting from the European reality and based on some specificities related to Portugal, we address the challenges that are posed, in the current context, to Social Sciences in the field of ethics and the regulation of research. Considering the dossier in which this paper is included, we try to uphold a dialogue with the resolution on the norms applicable to researches in Human and Social Sciences (Resolution nº 510, of April 7th, 2016).
