Objective
Students in the life sciences face a variety of ethical issues. The students' mentors, faculty members, generally desire to be resources for students, but there is little institutional training, support, or reward for faculty who want to discuss ethics with students. FNIBI III aims at helping biological science faculty to integrate ethics into their courses and labs, teaching them how to discuss ethics with their students. FNIBI is a one weeklong summer workshop, designed to train a total of 24 life scientists from the EU plus 6 from the USA. FNIBI covers biodiversity, animals and the oceans, but with a narrower focus on agricultural biotechnology and Gomes. Results will include the training of life science faculty in formal ethics, the revision of their courses to cover bioethics, and the production of scholarly resources in life sciences ethics.
