Editorial
This year, we are unfortunately faced with another challenge in addition to the Covid-19 pandemic: the war in Ukraine. It is incredibly sad, devastating and incomprehensible to witness what is happening to a close neighbour in Europe. It is not an easy task to grasp the many challenges which arise from this and we are unfortunately also seeing the medical ethics challenges, among them for example the humanitarian crisis and scarcity of resources, migration and new vulnerabilities and many others. Besides these challenges, where medical ethics might provide some theoretical guidance, the field and profession of medical ethics is challenged itself in these times: what canthe field of and community of medical ethics – a moral discipline in itself – to actually support Ukrainians. What ought it do? EACME is currently planning a webinar to think and discuss on this issue.
In this edition of the EACME Newsletter, one special contribution also highlights the discipline of bioethics itself and its challenges and opportunities in the years to come. The past presidents of EACME together wrote a contribution about their discussions in personal conversations about the developments in bioethics.
With this they let us be part of these conversations on “What we deem important currently in our discipline of bioethics”.
In view of the past pandemic years, EACME recognised that especially early career researchers had novel challenges to overcome, less chance to practice presenting and discussing their work, and also fewer opportunities simply to meet and talk with their colleagues, both in their home country and around the world.
EACME aims to provide a platform for early career researchers to connect and will therefore host a first webinar/meeting especially for early career researchers in June. Please see more information in the announcement section below. We are looking forward to ‘expressions of interest’ from all early career researchers and PhD students in your centres.
Very best wishes, Caroline Brall
