Theme C: Biomedicine and Society

The purpose of this theme is to offer PRBB residents an opportunity to discuss and reflect on their work, and the role and implications of the scientific enterprise for society today and in the future. Our main initiative is an in-house programme of film and documentary screenings. In these events, participants and a guest host from amongst the PRBB senior staff, use the movie as the starting point to explore issues of contemporary relevance to the practice and ethics of the medico-scientific enterprise today.

From time to time we also invite outside speakers to deliver either keynote talks or to run more interactive discussion groups.
