Description: The German Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) sponsors a five-day interdisciplinary conference that takes up innovative and practice-oriented questions of all fields of research ethics from 15 young scholars (PhD-students and post-docs). This conference aims to identify new directions for research and to improve international network building in the field of research ethics. All participants give an oral presentation (30 min) of their research findings, which will then be discussed in a plenary session (30 min). The conference language is English. Additional workshops moderated by international experts are part of the conference. The topics of the participants’ contributions should be classifiable as (i) descriptive/empirical analyses of ethical challenges in current preclinical/clinical/public health research, or (ii) normative analyses of specific cases and problem areas in preclinical/ clinical/public health research, or (iii) analyses of foundational concepts of research ethics. Please send your application to re2013@mh-hannover.de until April 22, 2013. It should contain an abstract (max. 500 words), a curriculum vitae and a publication list.
