ThemesEuropean Network of Research Ethics Committees (EUREC)
What is this about?
Why is this important?
RECs are responsible for the ethical review of research involving human participants, especially in the biomedical sciences. Today RECs face significant challenges due to the increase of multicenter studies and daring novel research.
Multicenter studies pose a challenge because RECs have evolved in accordance with local cultures and national laws. Reviewing research projects involving numerous institutions located in different countries requires cooperation between RECs because regulations and procedures need to be harmonized.
New technologies and research methodologies raise ethical questions, not only in the biomedical sciences, but also in the social sciences and the humanities. Often existing review procedures and guidelines cannot adequately address these challenges. Hence, there is a demand for adapting procedures and guidelines.
Striving to continuously improve the protection of human subjects and to ensure high quality ethical review of research projects, EUREC helps RECs addressing these challenges by:
- providing a sustainable infrastructure for exchange and cooperation,
- gathering and disseminating information on ethical review practices in Europe,
- collecting and evaluating training materials for REC members,
- conducting capacity building,
- identifying emerging ethical issues,
- promoting research in bioethics and medical ethics,
- assisting in the harmonization of multidisciplinary ethical reviews.
For whom is this important?
