Regional Consultation on Science Ethics and Scientists’ Responsibility for Europe and North America
This meeting was part of a series of regional and national consultations on scientists responsibilities and codes of conduct organized with the support of COMEST and the National Commissions for UNESCO in different regions worldwide with the aim to accomplish the mandate given to UNESCO by the General Conference at its 33rd Session to “pursue reflection on the question of science ethics”. These consultations are organized to bring inputs to the reflection of COMEST in this area. The results will be presented by the Director-General in his report of the activities of COMEST to the Executive Board at its 175th Session in September 2006.

On the invitation of the Swiss Commission for UNESCO, this regional consultation meeting for Europe and North America was held at the Palais des Nations in Geneva, on 11-12 May 2006.

The two-day meeting was moderated by Mr Jens Eric Fenstad, former Chairperson of COMEST, and consisted of plenary sessions. The first day was used for statements by the invited speakers, experts, and representatives of international organizations and National Commissions for UNESCO; and the second day was devoted to a more general debate on the participants’ views concerning the “Guiding Questions for the Consultations regarding the 1974 Recommendation on the Status of Scientific Researchers”.
