Annual lecture video archive
The Council holds an annual public lecture in April/May (to coincide with the Forward Look seminar where topics of interest for future Council reports are discussed). Every year a guest speaker is invited to give an international perspective on a bioethics issue of their choice. Our public lectures are free to attend and open to anyone.
