The European Network of Research Ethics Committees (EUREC) shapes the future of ethical review and research across Europe, bringing together research ethics committees (RECs).

EUREC fosters a culture of researchers who prioritise ethical considerations, advancing responsible and impactful research. Through collaboration and knowledge exchange, EUREC is shaping a future where research across diverse disciplines is conducted with integrity and consideration for ethical standards.

 

Principal objectives:

• to foster a sustainable infrastructure for European RECs that promotes exchange and international cooperation
• to gather information on RECs in Europe, building a foundation for mutual exchange
• to collect and evaluate training materials for REC members, enhancing the quality of review
• to conduct capacity building that facilitates the development of national REC networks
• to identify emerging ethical issues and develop common solutions for challenges posed by new technologies and scientific methodologies
• to promote science and research in the realm of bioethics and medical ethics
• to assist in the harmonisation of the multidisciplinary ethical reviews of medical research involving human participants as well as the materials or data derived from such research
• to support the quality of biomedical research at the European level
