Overview

The Health Research Board and the National Office for Research Ethics Committees jointly hosted a National Conference on Research Ethics on 30 November 2023 at the Gibson Hotel in Dublin.

The event took an in-depth look at how and why ethical considerations are embedded in the practices of health research. These discussions come at an important juncture in the evolution of the research ethics landscape both in Ireland and internationally – as we emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic into a research environment full of new ethical challenges in areas as diverse as artificial intelligence, genetics and genomics, and how to best safeguard the rights of research participants.
