Nordic committee on bioethics

The Nordic Committee on Bioethics was founded in 1989 to promote Nordic cooperation and exchange of information between scientists, parliamentarians, opinion leaders and public officials in the area of bioethics.

 In the increasing international variety of approaches taken to address bioethical questions, it is important to have a committee that reflects the Nordic dimension in responding to ethical issues raised by biosciences and biotechnology.

 

• The Committee arranges workshops, hearings, conferences, symposia and public talks/lectures in order to contribute to the exchange of information between researchers, parliamentarians and opinion leaders on current issues in bioethics.
• The Committee publishes reports and other publications to promote Nordic and interantional debate on issues of bioethics.
• The Committee holds regular in-house meetings.
• The Committee can co-opt experts for a particular activity.
