The Board of Directors of the University of Namur formalized at its meeting of 01/09/2017 the creation of a humanities ethics committee as a local body for advice on ethical aspects related to research in the humanities, when such advice is requested by a funder.

If human beings or human material are to be experimented on or sampled, and whatever the nature of the planned experiment, the protocol must be submitted to a medical ethics committee before the experiment begins. For researchers at the Université de Namur, these projects are submitted to the medical ethics committee of the CHU-UCL Namur. This collaboration stems from the special relationship between the University of Namur, CHU UCL Namur and the Cliniques du site de Mont-Godinne in particular.
