Dear Friends and Colleagues,

I am pleased to present you with the new EACME-Newsletter. In this edition you will receive insights into a variety of subjects, such as a PHD-Project of the Swansea University, clinical research with children in Spain and the birthday of the Centre of Ethics Medicine in Bristol, UK.

Additionally, I am happy to announce that we found a new title for our honorable EACME price. Annually, the EACME price is awarded to PHD-Students who submit a conference abstract that distinguishes itself in clarity, coherence, innovation and ethical reflection. The new name of the price is: Paul Schotmans Price. This title was chosen in honor of Ermeritus Professor and previous EACME President Paul Schotsmans from Leuven, Belgium.

And with the word “Leuven” we already find ourselves at the annual EACME Conference. This conference will be held between September 8th and September 10th, in Leuven. This year`s conference promises to become the biggest one in the history of EACME. As you will be able to read in the paragraph below, 200 participants have applied with their abstracts. Please come along as well. We would be delighted to welcome you.

On this note, and as we are already talking about conferences: you might want to circle September 7th until 9th, 2017 in your calendar as well. This is the date when the next EACME conference will take place in Barcelona. It will be organized by the Borja de Bioèthica Institute of the University Ramon Llull.

I wish you a pleasant read,

Rouven Porz, Editor
