DISASTER BIOETHICS

Website of the COST Action IS1201 on "Disaster Bioethics - Ethical Issues Triggered by Disasters". Research, exchange, analysis, and practical advice in disaster response ethics... The conference attracted ethics professionals and staff from nongovernmental organisations and international organizations, as well as policy-makers at both national and international level. The materials generated at the conference will be particularly relevant to Ministries of Health, and public health agencies. The Action also has focused on disaster research, so members of research ethics committees that approve research in disasters and epidemics will benefit from reviewing the presentations. Given media interest in recent disasters (Zika virus, Ebola, the Nepal earthquake, the Syrian refugee crisis, etc.), news media may find the research reports into such disasters to be relevant.
