The UPD REB MESS is an initiative designed to serve as an information drive and collaborative platform for the UP Diliman research community while welcoming the public to participate. MESS aims to foster a culture of standard ethical research practices across the campus while recognizing the need for a cohesive and informed approach to research ethics. This seminar series provides an avenue for introducing and collaborating with College-based Research Ethics Committees/Boards (REC/Bs) with the clear intent of accommodating the very diverse research engagements of UP Diliman constituents.
