This year, the INC Day, organized in partnership with the masters programs BioMedical Engineering – Paris and NeuroParis and supported by the Faculty of sciences of Paris Cité University and the Graduate school Psychological science, is dedicated to ethics. What are the biological bases of ethics? What ethical issues face today’s researchers in our field? What are the ethical consequences of the present advances in neuroscience and cognitive sciences for society? Following the keynote lecture by Hervé Chneiweiss (Neuroscience Paris Seine) five other French or foreign researchers will present their latest results in the field of ethics and four French scientific personalities will animate a round table on scientific rules of conduct.
This scientific conference will take place in the Amphitheater Polonowski of Campus Saint-Germain-des-Prés, 45 rue des Saints-Pères, 75006.
The talks will also be broadcasted on Zoom
