Ethical review of scientific research involving human participants or personally identifiable data is done by several ethical review committees within the university. If studies fall under the Medical Research Involving Human Subjects Act (WMO) review by the accredited review committee METC is mandatory. For all other studies ethical review is done by the Ethical Review Committee Psychology and Neuroscience (ERCPN) and the Ethical Review Committee Inner City faculties (ERCIC).
