Bioethics Education International (BEI) invites participants (students and professionals) across the globe to attend the summer school to be held from July 24 to 29, 2023.
Curriculum
The summer school includes lectures and seminars, film screenings, and special guest speakers. Stay tuned for the program to be posted next week!
Faculty
