2026 Intensive Research Ethics Course (IREC) Retreat

This intensive course is designed to assist researchers, ethics committee members and others involved in the conduct and assessment of research to understand and clarify the issues arising in relation to research of all kinds involving human participants. It will provide an opportunity for members of research and research ethics communities to come together to discuss the issues they face and share their experiences.

The course aims to give registrants an appreciation of the philosophical and ethical issues underlying research involving human participants, an understanding of the issues relating to different research methodologies and research involving special populations.
 
The program will be interactive and will include small group discussions and workshops.  There will be ample provision for free time to encourage further discussion and debate among participants.
