The National Bioethics Committee and the Laboratory for the Study of Medical Law and Bioethics of the Law School of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki offer for the third consecutive year an excellent opportunity to learn about the subject of modern bioethics.
More specifically, they are co-organizing an educational seminar program for the year 2020, which will cover a wide range of critical topics, such as informed consent and patients’ rights, children’s autonomy, new applications in genetics, eugenics, patents in biotechnology, etc.
The Programme is addressed to undergraduate and postgraduate students of all Faculties of Science and Theoretical Sciences, but also to professional lawyers, judges, doctors, teachers, etc.
It includes 12 presentations that will take place from January to June 2020, at the Commission’s headquarters (Athens) and simultaneously in a special teleconference room of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (Thessaloniki). The meetings are two-hour sessions, on a Thursday, 12.00-14.00 on 16/1, 30/1, 13/2, 27/2, 12/3, 26/3, 2/4, 23/4, 7/5, 14/5, 21/5, 4/6 and 18/6/2020 (presentation of papers).
Upon completion of the Programme, certificates of attendance will be issued to those who attended at least ten (10) of the twelve (12) seminars ensuring the awarding of ECTS credits to participants.
For attendance, knowledge of English is essential, as there will be presenters from abroad.
To express your interest (pre-registration), you can send an e-mail with a short CV to the National Bioethics Committee’s e-mail address: secretariat@bioethics.gr, indicating in which city you wish to attend (first come, first served).
