The main goal of this series is to present the prevailing ethical views of different parts of the world and the specific regulations of biomedical issues existing throughout the world as well as to engage in a constructive dialogue with these different positions.

The Bioethics in Scandinavia event was opened by Judit Sándor, Director of Center for Ethics and Law in Biomedicine. The opening speech was followed by the presentations of three invited guests from three Scandinavian countries: Denmark, Norway and Sweden. Each presentation was followed by discussions. Among the participants, there were CELAB Research Fellows form the Semmelweis University, the University of Debrecen and CEU; students of CEU and ELTE; Hungarian MDs, lawyers, professors; and the representatives of the Hungarian Institute for Data Protection and the UNESCO’s COMEST committee.
