On October 19th , from 2:30 PM to 6:00 PM, Católica Medical School will host the conference “Bioethics and Peace | Thinking, Caring and Shaping the Future” in Lisbon, as part of the celebrations of World Bioethics Day. The event will also feature the presentation of the new PhD Programme in Bioethics in association with The Faculty of Health Sciences.
“At a time when science and technology are rapidly transforming society, Bioethics plays an essential role in anticipating challenges and providing a foundation for responsible decision-making. This PhD programme aims to contribute to a field of Bioethics that not only produces rigorous scientific knowledge but also has the capacity to make a meaningful impact in clinical, scientific and institutional settings across different fields of knowledge, placing respect, human dignity and the common good at the heart of decision-making,” says Mara de Sousa Freitas, Director of the Institute of Bioethics at Universidade Católica Portuguesa.
