Monash Warwick Alliance Seed Funding
Warwick-Monash Alliance seed funding of about £20,000 has been awarded to Profs Tom Sorell (PAIS, Warwick) and Michael Selgelid (Monash) to develop research projects on health security ethics. The collaboration will bring together Monash’s Centre for Human Bioethics and PAIS’s Interdisciplinary Ethics Research Group for meetings to work on the conceptualization of phenomena as diverse as terrorist attacks using biological agents and public health emergencies and the ethical risks they pose. Monash is working toward official recognition of their biomedical ethics centre by the World Health Organization (WHO). Eventually the collaboration may serve as a platform for research relevant to WHO that employs IERG’s growing expertise in security ethics and extends it into the health sciences.
