About us

The International Society for Clinical Bioethics (ISCB) was founded in June 2003 with the aim to facilitate contacts and information exchange between those working in clinical bioethics and related fields in different parts of the world, encouraging the development of research and teaching in clinical bioethics and related fields.

The ISCB aims to be truly international, linking all those working in clinical bioethics and related fields, facilitating mutual contact, and encouraging the discussion of clinical aspects in bioethics.

The Society exists for educational and scientific purposes, and not for the purpose of making profits for its members or for any other person or organisation, with the following educational and scientific objectives:

To uphold the value of free, open and reasoned discussion on issues in clinical bioethics and related fields.
