The statistical report "Human Research in Switzerland 2022" and the summary report "Activities of the Research Ethics Committees 2022" are now available in the "Downloads" section of our website. 

These reports describe biomedical research in Switzerland governed by the Human Research Act for the year 2022. The information comes from BASEC, which is managed by the umbrella organization of research ethics committees (swissethics), and from the individual activity reports of the cantonal research ethics committees (EKOS, EKNZ, KEK-BE, KEK-ZH, CCER, CER-VD and CE-TI).

The FOPH is revising the implementing legislation of the Human Research Act (HRA). It is adapting the ordinances to national and international developments in human research. 
The consultation on the amended drafts began on 26 April 2023 and will last until 16 August 2023.

Further information can be found on the FOPH website.
