The i-CONSENT project is coming to an end. After 4 years of intense work and study in the field of clinical research and bioethics we are proud to inform you that the project guidelines are ready for publication. These guidelines are the result of profound investigations to provide information and evidence to assist with the development or review of the consent process for use in clinical studies with human participants. For this reason, we would like to invite you to our event Towards the future of informed consent in clinical research, a virtual meeting to present the i-CONSENT Guidelines. The session will be held Tuesday, March 16th 2021 from 16:00 to 18:00h CET.
We will present the process of elaboration of the guidelines and the relevance and convenience of the document. Also, we will present a summary of its main contents. In addition, high level discussion on bioethics, law, gender perspective and multiculturalism will be stimulated in a final open discussion.
Moreover, to set the tone of the event and as an added value, we have invited Prof. J. J.M. van Delden, Professor of medical ethics and director of education at the University Medical Centre of Utrecht University. He has served as the president of the Council of International Organisations of Medical Sciences (CIOMS) and was chair of the workgroup for the revision of the CIOMS ethical guidelines for biomedical research, that have served as reference for the development of the i-CONSENT project.
Prof. J. J.M. van Delden, which has also been involved in project as member of our Ethical Advisory Board, will offer a master lecture called: “Ethical issues in informed consent in today’s clinical research”.
Not only we will have representatives of academia, patient groups, pharmaceutical industry but also SMEs, Clinical investigators, Ethical Advisory Boards, policy makers or anyone professional who’s interested in moving Towards the future of informed consent in clinical research.
