The Ethics of the COVID-19 Pandemic - Nordic Perspectives
Webinar series 2020-2021

The Nordic Committee of bioethics is hosting a series of webinars on bioethical aspects of the COVID-19 pandemic in the Nordic countries. The aim is to identify ethical aspects of the pandemic, to look at policies and debates with a view on differences and similarities between the countries. By doing this as series of events we aim to follow the development from the outbreak of the pandemic and over time.

The series will visit each of the five Nordic countries. You can watch past webinars below, and read about the upcoming events here.
