| Date: | 17.11.2006 to 18.11.2006 |
| Location: | University of Basel Basel Schweiz (Switzerland) |
| Keywords: | Biotechnology - Green gene technology - Human genetics - Animal ethics |
| Details: | The rapid increase in the application of human, animal and plant genomics clearly indicated a need to reflect on the societal implications of these bio-technologies. To address these implications adequately, ELSA research has become an essential accompaniment to genomics research, striving to cope with the new realities of our ?genomically? focused lifeworld. In this context it is evident that different European countries organise their ELSA research and their funding policies in different ways. It is likely that historical, cultural and political factors have had a crucial impact on ELSA structures within the different nations. The conference aims to explore cultural, historical, political and so-cial variations in ELSA research. It will contribute to a comparative discussion and stimulate new and innovative approaches. |
