ECEN: Organisational Ethics and Ethics Support
The European Clinical Ethics Network (ECEN) will have its 12th Open Forum Day (OFD) on September 23rd 2026 in Leuven. This is one day prior to the opening of the EACME-conference. This year’s topic is “Organisational Ethics and Ethics Support”.
CfA:
Clinical Ethics takes place in Health Care Institutions. What makes an institution “moral” and in what way could ethics consultation support this process? Organisational ethics addresses ethics principles, such as autonomy or justice, on a supra-individual level: ethics in the organisation and ethics for the organisation.
Possible topics related to Clinical Ethics Support (CES):
- Ethical challenges in health care organisations
- Justice and ethics support
