The European Adventist Human Subject Researchers Association (AHSRA–Europe) was established in 2025 at the initiative of Adventus University, in collaboration with AHSRA–Global. The Association was officially launched during the Second Adventus International Conference on Education, Bible, and Society, held in April 2025.
AHSRA-Europe Goals are in line with AHSRA Global Objectives:
- to provide a meeting ground where human-subject researchers studying matters relating to Seventh-day Adventists in Europe are able to confer concerning all matters of common interest;
- to provide assistance to the Church in Europe in accomplishing its mission in, for example, such human-subject research areas as spiritual needs of youth, impact of Adventist beliefs/practices on life quality/chances, strategies for discipling and retention, and strengthening Adventist families.
- to organize regular meetings of the association
- to provide a body of peer reviewers for major research initiatives that involve human subjects;
- to provide mentorship for less experienced researchers to become involved in well-planned publishable research endeavors;
- to provide opportunities for new collaborations which combine interests of association members which would allow for larger scale research projects;
- to provide professional development opportunities to its members.
