Our session “The values of biomedical innovation” will explore how the values of biomedical innovation are expressed, represented, materialised and aligned or contested in different biomedical contexts of regulation, public (health and economic) policies, bio-healthcare provision, producers' strategies ('value chains'), and in other arenas of innovation. Discussions will be stimulated between the panel members and the public participants to identify interdisciplinary convergences and divergences of challenges, issues (such as risk and safety, health inequalities and ethical issues) and possible pathways to common solutions around the values of biomedical innovation. The international panel members are key speakers with different knowledge: Virginie BROS-FACER (Eurordis, rare diseases Europe), Jurgen KUBALL (University Medical Center Utrecht), Laurence LWOFF (Council of Europe), Aurélie MAHALATCHIMY (UMR7318 DICE-CERIC, CNRS-Aix-Marseille Université-Université de Pau et des Pays de l’Adour-Université de Toulon et du Var), Valérie PARIS (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development- OECD), Andrew WEBSTER (Science and Technology Studies Unit, University of York).
On the programme, more than 200 conferences, workshops and debates on:
-
The latest scientific breakthroughs
