Dutch term or phrase: Commissie Toetsing Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek (TWO)
Hello all,
Do you know if there's a difference between a TWO and an METC (Medisch Ethische Toetsing Commissie)? Or are they just two terms for Ethics Committee/IRB, along with Commissie Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek (CWO)?
Many thanks in advance!

Explanation:
If you look at the website below, you can see that they are really the same thing, just with a different name. Still, I would translate the name as is, possibly with a footnote to explain.
