20 October, 12.15-13.15 – Human Research Ordinance – New regulations
The Human Research Ordinance (HRO) was revised in 2024, introducing important new requirements for research involving human participants. In this brown bag lunch, we will take a closer look at what has changed and what these changes mean in practice. Beyond informed consent — including new possibilities for electronic consent — we will explore Article 26, which requires that the key to the anonymization code be held by someone not involved in the research project. The discussion will focus on the practical and ethical implications of these updates, and on how research groups within the NCCR can best adapt to ensure compliance.
