European Network of Research Ethics Committees - EUREC

Welcome to EUREC, a network connecting Research Ethics Committees (RECs) and research ethics experts across Europe.

Our mission is to empower and support local RECs within the European Research Area through capacity building and enhanced cooperation.

As an umbrella organisation, EUREC interlinks European RECs with essential stakeholders in research involving human participants, including the ethical review system of the European Commission. EUREC cooperates with organisations that support research ethics and is involved in various EU-funded projects.

Join us in shaping the landscape of ethical research practices across disciplines in Europe. Dive into our country-specific information and resources for RECs, engage with our working groups and projects, and learn about our members and research team.
