Nethics introduces a procedure for external ethical review from January 2023.
As the affiliated institutes feel a social responsibility to share the expertise they have built up, Nethics has made it possible to request the assessment of research that does not take place at one of the affiliated institutes. Evaluation of this procedure will take place after one year, based on the quantity and nature of the applications. More information can be found under the heading 'Externe toetsing | External review' on this site, or by clicking the button below.
