The University of Montpellier’s Research Ethics Committee was officially established on February 8, 2022. Its objective is to strengthen the mechanisms put in place by the University of Montpellier to promote awareness and adherence to ethical and professional principles in response to the questions raised by scientific advances and their contemporary societal implications, regardless of the field of research. The University of Montpellier Research Ethics Committee is authorized to provide advisory opinions on research projects and protocols across all scientific fields, particularly those involving human subjects, matters of privacy, and data relating to human subjects. However, projects falling under the scope of Law No. 2012-300 of March 5, 2012, concerning research involving human subjects (known as the “Jardé Law”) and its implementing decree No. 2016-1537 of November 16, 2016, and falling under Articles R.1121-1-1 and R.1121-1-2 of the Public Health Code defining research involving human subjects, are, for their part, subject to the jurisdiction of the Committees for the Protection of Human Subjects (CPP).
