Contact information
Most MRECs are affiliated with an institution, such as an academic medical center or a hospital.
Scope of work
A recognized MREC determines the region for which it reviews research: its scope of work. In practice, most committees review research for all of the Netherlands.
European Network of Research Ethics Committees
Information about the national Research Ethics Committees (RECs) of all European member states can be found on the website of the European Network of Research Ethics Committees (EUREC).
Annual report
In its annual reports, the CCMO provides an overview of all research assessed in the Netherlands by recognized MRECs and the CCMO.
