Networks

In this section, we have included links to a selection of bioethics networks and listservs in Ireland, the UK and Europe.

Bioethics (Ireland)

The Bioethics (Ireland) listserv is open to anyone, but requires approval prior to posting by the list administrator, Dr. Donal O'Mathuna, School of Nursing, Dublin City University (DCU). This list is mainly for providing information on up-coming bioethics events and developments in the field.

Bioethics IrelandUK

This bioethics social network was established in April 2008. Bioethics IrelandUK aims to bring together people working, researching and teaching in the area of bioethics from a variety of disciplines, including but not limited to philosophy, law, medicine, science, nursing, sociology and theology. While it is aimed at those working in Ireland and the UK, it is open to members in Europe and further afield. There are facilities for sub-groups devoted to specific topics in bioethics, e.g. embryo research, nanotechnologies, and event announcements as well as the usual discussion forum and blog facilities.

EuroEthics: Biomedical Ethics Database Project

The EuroEthics database is a European Database on Medical Ethics. France, Germany, the Netherlands and Sweden established the Euroethics Health Network (EHN), a standardised, labour-dividing European information and database network on biomedical ethics. National databases have been joined together into the unified European Database on Medical Ethics EuroEthics. The database currently comprises over 10,000 documents. It has links to bioethics conference and events calendars in addition to the extensive database of articles and documents.

Philos-L: Philosophy in Europe

Philos-L - Philosophy in Europe - is a listserv hosted by the University of Liverpool, which aims to facilitate cross-communication between philosophers working in all areas. The listserv disseminates information on calls for papers and event announcements also. While not explicitly devoted to bioethics, this can be a valuable means of keeping informed about bioethics and general philosophy events, CFPs and job advertisements. You can subscribe to the list by going to Philos-L

Blogs

Philosophy and Bioethics Blog

Philosophy and Bioethics is the blog of the International Network for Philosophy and Bioethics (INPAB) founded by David Hunter (University of Ulster) and James Wilson (Keele).

The site hosts an RSS aggregator (the Motherlode), which provides constantly up-dated information on journal tables of content, news, blogs and resources. The 'useful links' section is genuinely useful!
