About REO
In recent years, academic communities around the world have been paying increasing attention to the issues of research ethics in order to not only pursue academic freedom but also to protect the human rights and benefits of research participants. In view of this, for the purpose of improving academic quality as well as protecting the rights of research participants, NTNU in October 2013 established the Center for Research Ethics (CRE), to construct the governance framework for research ethics and promote the protection of research participants.
