This interdisciplinary symposium and workshop is the first of its kind to bring together those involved in public health, bioethics, law and policy-making. With plenary sessions by key  figures followed by participatory workshops, the symposium aims to (1) explore major issues in public health ethics; and (2) identify a research agenda for this emerging field. This meeting represents a unique opportunity to forge an international dialogue about public health ethics that will continue well into the new millennium.

The symposium is funded by the University of Toronto Department of Public Health Sciences,  the Joint Centre for Bioethics, the Connaught Fund for International Symposia, and the Canadian Institutes for Health Research.

Enrolment is limited; kindly register early to avoid disappointment. Graduate Students attend free of charge.
