Call for Applications
THE CONCEPT OF COMMUNITY IN BIOETHICS
A satellite meeting of the 10th World Congress of Bioethics, Singapore

27TH JULY 2010

Sponsored by the Wellcome Trust

The Wellcome Trust is pleased to invite applications for participation
in a one-day meeting on the concept of community in bioethics.  The
meeting will explore different understandings of the concept of
'community' and the role it should play in normative decision making
from different philosophical and cultural positions, using four case
studies, two from the world of research ethics - biobanking and genomics
research, and emergency health-related research - and two from the world
of public health ethics - vaccination and resource allocation.

Whilst a particular focus of the meeting will be the different sets of
assumptions that different conceptions of 'community' and its role carry
and the implications of these assumptions, this meeting will also use
'community' as a focal point for broader discussions around the
plurality of different approaches to doing normative bioethics. 

Confirmed speakers

Dr Jane Kaye (University of Oxford)
Prof Terence Hua-Tai (National Cheng Kung University, Taiwan)
Prof Aasim Ahmad (Aga Khan University, Pakistan)
Dr Adnan Hyder (Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, USA)
Dr Angus Dawson (Keele University, UK)
Dr Hu Linying (Peking University Health Science Centre, China)
Dr Martin Wilkinson (University of Auckland, New Zealand)
Prof Zhang, Ellen Y (Hong Kong Baptist University)

Audience

This meeting will be of interest to a wide range of researchers at all
levels in contemporary bioethics, including those interested in
biobanking and genomics research ethics, international research ethics,
public health ethics, global health ethics, feminist scholarship and
political philosophy.

There is no registration fee for the meeting.

All successful applicants will have one night's accommodation in

The closing date for applications is 19th March 2010.

Other important information

Delegates are of course welcome to take the opportunity to stay on in
Singapore for the World Congress of Bioethics (28-31 July 2010) or any

particularly interested in also attending the joint meeting of the
International Association of Bioethics (IAB)'s Public Health Ethics
Network (InterPHEN) and the Philosophy and Bioethics Network, 'Human
Rights and Public Health Ethics', on 26 July 2010.

Please note that registration for the World Congress of Bioethics and
the InterPHEN/Philosophy and Bioethics Network meeting or any other
