Regional Consultation on Science Ethics and Scientists’ Responsibility for Latin America and Caribbean
The main aim of this meeting was to accomplish the mandate given to UNESCO by the General Conference in its 33rd Session in order to “pursue reflection on the question of science ethics”, through a series of regional and national consultations on scientists’ responsibility and codes of conduct organized with the support of the World Commission on the Ethics of Scientific Knowledge and Technology (COMEST) and the National Commissions and Permanent Delegations in different regions worldwide. A report of the activities of COMEST in this area shall be submitted by DG to the Executive Board at its 175th Session in September 2006.

On the kind invitation of the Secretariat of Science and Technology of the Minas Gerais State (SECTES), Brazil, and in the framework of the celebration of 20 years of the Secretariat and 30 years of the Research Foundation of Minas Gerais (FAPEMIG), a regional consultation for Latin America and Caribbean took place on 30 and 31 May 2006, in Belo Horizonte.
