Medical Ethical Committee

The Medical Ethical Committee (in Dutch: Medisch Ethische Toetsingsingscommissie or METc) of the University Medical Center Groningen (UMCG) evaluates protocols for scientific research involving human beings. Such evaluation was given a legal context when on 1 December 1999, the Law on Medical Scientific Research involving Human Beings (WMO) took effect. The METc is authorized to evaluate research that is conducted by the UMCG.
