Passing of Prof. Dr. Renaat Peleman

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Prof. Dr. Renaat Peleman.

In addition to being the chairman of the Ethics Committee at UZ Gent, he was also a valued member of the BAREC Board.

Our thoughts are with his family and friends.

Join our new GDPR working group

The working group will focus on key action points, including:

·       Developing advice on the legal grounds for processing personal data.

·       Revising the confidentiality sections of the Informed Consent Form (ICF).

The working group will come to an end once the above action points are completed.

If you are interested in being part of this effort, please reach out to us at info@barec.be by 21Feb2025. Your expertise can make a real difference to provide clear guidance on GDPR issues.

We look forward to your involvement!
