	Inserm Ethics Committee
	The purpose of the Inserm Ethics Committee (IEC) is to be a fully-fledged stakeholder in the dialog between the scientific and medical research community and society. It facilitates consideration of the ethical questions raised by medical-scientific and health research as it is carried out at Inserm. It supports the Institute’s staff in identifying and incorporating ethical questions into their projects from the design stage.
	Inserm
	Founded in 1964, Inserm is a public scientific and technological institute which operates under the joint authority of the French Ministries of Health and Research. The institute is dedicated to biomedical research and human health, and is involved in the entire range of activities from the laboratory to the patient’s bedside. It also partners with the most prestigious research institutions in the world that are committed to scientific challenges and progress in these fields.
	ANRS MIE
	The ANRS (National Agency of Research on AIDS), created on January 1st, 2021, is a French, independent agency from Inserm. Its mission is to animate, evaluate, coordinate and fund research on HIV/AIDS, viral hepatitis, sexually transmissible infections, tuberculosis, emergent infectious diseases, and re-emergent ones (including respiratory infections, such as Covid-19, viral hemorrhagic fevers, and arboviruses). The agency covers all research sectors: basic research, clinical research, public health and social sciences; its organization emphasizes innovation and strong partnerships worldwide. The ANRS is under the authority of both the Ministry of Higher Education, Research and Innovation and the Ministry of Health and Solidarity. It is headed by Pr Yazdan Yazdanpanah.
	DNDi
	DNDi’s mission is to develop new treatments for people living with neglected diseases. Acting in the public interest, DNDi bridges existing R&D gaps in essential drugs for these diseases by initiating and coordinating drug R&D projects in collaboration with the international research community, the public sector, the pharmaceutical industry, and other relevant partners.
	EDCTP
	EDCTP is an EU-funded partnership between institutions mandated by the governments of 14 European and 16 African countries. Launched in 2003 and renewed in 2014 with funding through to 2024, EDCTP has been the focal point for EU support for global health research in Africa, and a visible sign of the EU’s commitment to the Millennium Development Goals and more recently the Sustainable Development Goals. Through its evolution, EDCTP has been driven by the infectious disease priorities of sub-Saharan Africa and the need to develop African countries’ capacity to collectively address these priorities into the future.
	CCNE
	Elucidating scientific progress, raising new issues challenging society and observing change from the perspective of ethics, such is the mission of the Ethics Committee, a mission central to society’s current concerns. CCNE’s continuing task is to stimulate reflection on bioethics by contributing to controversial discussion within society, but it does not seek to control or appropriate the debate. One of CCNE’s aims is to encourage members of the public to reflect on ethical matters and gain a better understanding of the issues raised by some of the scientific advances in the health and life sciences, such as biometrics and nanotechnologies.
	Espace Ethique Région Ile-de-France
	Created in 1995, the Espace Ethique of the Assistance Publique-Hôpitaux de Paris is the first ethical forum conceived and developed inside an institution (taken in 2004 as the model for structures of ethical thought). In 2013 it was implemented as the Espace de réflexion éthique of the region Ile-de-France. In 2010 the Espace Ethique/AP-HP was given the mission of developing a national reflection on Alzheimer's disease (EREMA) in the context of the Alzheimer Plan 2008-2012. From 2010 to 2012 the Espace Ethique was part of the WHO Collaborating Centres for bioethics. Since 2010, its research team develops the component ‘Ethics, science, health and society’ of the host team ‘Study on science and techniques’ of the University Paris Sud, in the continuity of the Department of research in ethics Paris Sud created in september 2003.
	EUREC
	EUREC is a network that brings together already existing national Research Ethics Committees (RECs) associations, networks or comparable initiatives on the European level. The network promotes capacity building and assistance for local RECs to cooperate in the EU European Research Area. As an umbrella organization the network interlinks European RECs with other bodies relevant in the field of research involving human participants like the European Commission's ethical review system and the European Medical Association (EMA). EUREC cooperates with organizations that support research ethics. Such a network forms the infrastructural basis to promote awareness of specific working practices of RECs across Europe, to enhance the shared knowledge base of European RECs, to support coherent reviews and opinions and to meet new challenges and emerging ethical issues. EUREC has been founded in 2005. EUREC Inc. is listed in the register of associations since 2012.
	CIOMS
	The Council for International Organizations of Medical Sciences (CIOMS) is an international, non-governmental, non-profit organization established jointly by WHO and UNESCO in 1949. CIOMS represents a substantial proportion of the biomedical scientific community through its member organizations, which include many of the biomedical disciplines, national academies of sciences and medical research councils. CIOMS mission is to advance public health through guidance on health research and policy including ethics, medical product development and safety. CIOMS is in official relations with WHO and is an associate partner of UNESCO.
	IReSP
	The Institute for Research in Public Health (IReSP) develops and promotes public health research through calls for proposals. It has 5 missions: develop and animate discussions between decision-makers, research institutions, regulatory agencies, researchers, and other stakeholders around public health; contribute to the coordination of research communities in public health; elaborate and manage calls for proposals; increase the visibility of and facilitate the access to research results and discovery with regards to public health; promote the participation of all stakeholders in research in order to tend towards a more participative model.
