The CCBIO Research School invites you to a special edition of the course CCBIO903: Cancer Research – Ethical and Societal Aspects this spring. The course starts on March 23, and registration is still open.
This year's edition combines the regular CCBIO903 content with elements from the ARINA course Transdisciplinarity, RRI and Radical Innovation. Participants gain insight into ethical and societal perspectives on cancer research and clinical practice, and tools for systematic reflection on dilemmas in their own project – from prioritization and uncertainty to larger questions about "the good life" and the future of cancer research.
There will also be a 2-hour digital introduction beforehand, with flexible times.
We want to share both big and small things from everyday life at K2 – everything from academic highlights, exciting projects and new publications to events, milestones and pleasant glimpses from the working environment. Such contributions make the newsletter more lively and relevant for the entire department.
Do you have something you would like to share with colleagues? Please send an email to ingri.lunde@uib.no with:
We look forward to hearing from you and highlighting what is happening with you!
