For the fifth time, the ICMM Center of Reference for Education on IHL and Ethics together with the Medical Services Directorate of the Swiss Armed Forces and the Center for Ethics of Zurich University organise their annual joint Workshop on Military Medical Ethics.
It will take place from 07 May 2015 - 09 May 2015
at Forum Lilienberg in Ermatingen, Switzerland.
The main topic of this year's workshop is Ethical Challenges in the Context of Epidemics.
Presentations at the workshop will include case reports from recent deployments to the Ebola affected countries and more theoretical reflections on the ethical issues that arise in the fight against epidemics. Speakers include a wide variety of people coming both from the academic and military sphere. Large room will be given for discussion so that all participants can bring in their experiences and opinion.
