Under the auspices of the Czech Presidency of the Council of the European Union, the 13th Forum of National Ethics
Councils (NEC Forum) will be held in Prague at the Prague Congress Centre on the 4th and 5th of June 2009. The Forum
is organised by the European Commission and the Czech Bioethical Commission of the Research and Development
Council.
The 13th Forum of National Ethics Councils will start on the 4th of June at 9:30 with a joint session of the European
Group on Ethics in Science and New Technologies (EGE) and the Forum of National Ethics Councils. The topic of this
joint session is Neuroethics. Other topics that will be addressed at the remainder of the Forum
meeting are genetic testing and biometrics.
The Forum of National Ethics Councils consists of the chairpersons and the secretaries of the National Ethics
Councils. It is an independent informal platform for exchange of information and meets twice a year, hosted by the
National Ethics Council of the country that holds the current EU Presidency. The Forum is developing an important
role in exchanging good practices between Member States.
