Wed 6 July 2016
The Mason Institute led and won the competitive bid to host the 13th World Congress of the International Association of Bioethics in Edinburgh on 14-17 June 2016.
The International Association of Bioethics (IAB) conference was chaired by Professor Graeme Laurie
The World Congress of Bioethics was held from the 14th to the 17th of June in Edinburgh. The IAB Congress was organised by staff from Edinburgh Law School's Mason Institute and brought together global thought-leaders in the field. Researchers, professionals and students joined together to seek enlightenment on issues of peace, health, environment and technology.
IAB 2016 explored ‘Individuals, Public Interests, and Public Goods: What Is the Contribution of Bioethics?’, and welcomed over 700 delegates from 44 countries and offered a leading edge academic programme, development for early career researchers, and an Arts + Ethics strand.
This year's Congress featured an Arts and Ethics stream for the first time, exploring the relationship between bioethics and the arts. This stream included oral and poster presentations, symposia, performances, film presentations and a curated gallery from around the world.
