This conference will feature a plenary session to frame the current issues in our field. The plenary will be followed by presentations relevant to the emerging issues in research ethics. Our afternoon sessions will be followed by breakout sessions designed to dig deeper into each current issue, generate action items for addressing the current issue and then report back to the group a communications and action plan involving our institutions and the ethics secretariat of the tri-councils.
