The 5th ELSI Congress
ELSIcon2022: Innovating for a Just and Equitable Future
June 1-3, 2022 –听Columbia University, New York, NY
Research on the ethical, legal, and social implications听(ELSI) of genetics research and its translation aims to anticipate and illuminate emerging issues relevant to policy and practice and fundamental questions of what it means to be human.听The 5th ELSI Congress听invites researchers, scholars, practitioners, trainees, policymakers, journalists, community members, and all with an interest in ethics and genetics to share the latest ELSI research.
Justice and equity issues are embedded听in the complex questions about utility, privacy, intellectual property, commercialization, and identity in the ELSI research domain and innovative ideas and methods are essential to addressing these issues.听听Presentations that are likely to stimulate a transdisciplinary dialogue on advancing equity and justice in the context of ELSI research are particularly encouraged.
We welcome proposals for panels, papers, and posters on topics across the expanding range of ELSI research!
