Objective
This strategic initiative is launched to correct the insufficient disciplinarian and theoretical characterization of the branch of Ethics concerned with Biotechnology, and the virtual lack of Biota-Ethics teaching, particularly at the level of the doctorate student. Thirteen of the foremost authorities in the field, from eleven different European countries, will meet twice a year to delineate and approach those aspects of the interphone biology-industry where ethical discrimination is required, consult with "Witnesses" (ranging from Industry to Research Institutes and to NGOs), organize cooperative studies in ice-breaking areas, and discuss means and methods to translate research into education. Two pilot courses and one conference are planned during the three-year initiative, whose eventual goal is the establishment of a European School of Biota- Ethics.
