… going beyond the boundaries of individual societies!

We look back on an exciting EACME conference in Lille, while already planning the next conference. In September 2015, we will meet on the subject of clinical ethics in Cagliari, Sardinia. Moreover, this year has brought some very pleasant developments in the European bioethics scene, about which I would briefly like to inform you in my editorial today.

As most of you know, there is a second European society for biomedical ethics next to the EACME, namely the ESPMH (European Society for Philosophy of Medicine and Healthcare). The ESPMH mainly works with individual members, the EACME consists of linked Centres of Medical Ethics. It is important to note that both societies are not competitors. Quite the contrary, the goal is the same: For over 25 years, both the EACME and the ESPMH have been campaigning for the development and professionalization of Biomedical Ethics in Europe. To illustrate our common goals and ideals, the board of the ESPMH and the board of the EACME have decided to develop an agreement, signing it mutually. Herewith the boards of both societies agree on a statement of collaboration in order to responsibly and sustainably design the future of the academic field of Biomedical Ethics in Europe.

This collaboration results from the strong belief that a common interest in a successful development of professionalized Biomedical Ethics should go beyond the boundaries of individual societies.

I think this is a great step. And, I am proud to announce it here. Thus, I would like to thank the entire Board of ESPMH and in particular Prof. Bert Gordijn.

Enjoy this newsletter!

Yours,

Rouven Porz – Editor, General Secretary EACME
