Policy Briefs
New policy brief on ethical, legal and social aspects published
The Sino-EU PerMed project published its 2nd policy brief on ethical, legal and social aspects in the cooperation between Europe and China in Personalised Medicine. The policy brief is the result of the expertise by the ELSA Task Force that founded the project in 2023. It is also based on a workshop and a delegation visit to China where discussions were held with other experts on this topic. The insights gained from these activities are to be seen as recommendations for both policy and science.
The document addresses three topics: 1.) Why is ELSA important for development and implementation of PM? 2.) Legal and regulatory aspects: the health data perspective, and 3.) Ethical and societal perspectives.
