Birmingham Bioethics Hub
Wednesday 18 December 2024, 9.00am - 4.00pm
Bioethics is an inherently interdisciplinary area of research. It draws heavily on several of the humanities and social sciences, whilst being applied to STEM disciplines. This interdisciplinarity is very much the strength of bioethics and is why collaborative research projects are so common. This workshop seeks to establish a fully interdisciplinary University of Birmingham Bioethics Hub which draws together existing areas of strength, to facilitate cross-pollination and collaboration.
