Philosophical Issues in Research Ethics Workshop
7 November 2019 - 8 November 2019
The Philosophical Issues in Research Ethics Workshop will bring together leading scholars in the field. Building on the success of the two-day workshop held at Carnegie Mellon University in November 2018, this workshop seeks to:
(1) Create a high-level forum for exchange of ideas among philosophers working on problems in research ethics;
(2) Foster a community of like-minded scholars; and,
(3) Provide opportunities for senior trainees and junior faculty to be mentored by senior faculty.
Please note this is a closed workshop limited to invited participants only. Inquiries related to this event can be directed to Charles Weijer.
