In recent years, life science research has increasingly challenged limits of life that used to be regarded as ineluctable. Exciting new opportunities as well as ethical, legal and societal issues arise, all of which demand comprehensive and critical investigation. This Marsilius Academy aims to bring together excellent young researchers from the life and natural sciences, the social sciences and the humanities to engage in interdisciplinary exchange and discussion. Fuelled by the expertise of internationally renowned scholars and scientists, it addresses fundamental challenges arising from recent developments within the fields of biology, biomedicine and bioengineering. Participants are expected to contribute with their disciplinary perspective and research to the Academy.
