Learning outcomes
The programme aims to make students in a range of degrees - Medical Sciences, Pharmaceutical Sciences, Biological Sciences, Law Studies, Philosophical Sciences, and Philosophy - familiar with crucial notions in ethics and bioethics, moral philosophy and philosophy of medicine, with a specific focus on scientific practice, clinical experience, scientific research in the fields of biomedicine, biology, biotechnology, and biolaw. In traditional academic contexts many of such notions are not currently addressed in all the teaching programs which train students for pratical and professional activities. They constitute, however, a set of tools (concepts, languages, arguments, judicial cases) which are indispensable for the full command of the issues involved. Clinicians and researchers from various disciplinary fields (bioetics, philosophy of law, gynecology, neurology) will deliver lectures, take part to round tables and coordinate students' discussion groups on the topics addressed in the Winter School.
