Details: With the aim to strengthen the national bioethics infrastructures, and in particular to assist in the establishment and capacity-building of independent, multidisciplinary and pluralist national ethics committees, the conference will bring together experts and members of the newly established, currently forming and long-standing National Bioethics Committees (NBCs) from various parts of the world. The Conference will be structured around three major themes: • Emerging Bioethics Issues - local perspectives from the newly established and experienced National Bioethics Committees (series of presentations and discussions on bioethics topics relevant in different regions of the globe, and the national institutional mechanisms for addressing them). • Building an international network – devising a common vision for future cross-border collaboration and mutual capacity-building among National Bioethics Committees. • Engaging in ethical discourse – thematic discussion on the Report on the Principle of Social Responsibility and Health, elaborated by the International Bioethics Committee (IBC) and finalized during its sixteenth ordinary session, with a special focus on the role of National Bioethics Committees in the promotion of this principle in their respective countries.
