Ambassador Session: Reflecting on our International Roots and Planning our Collaborative Futures
The International Ambassador Program aims to facilitate greater global representation in the Society by recruiting leading scholars and thought leaders in neuroethics to act as liaisons between their respective local neuroethics efforts and the INS. Convening these leaders has become especially important as countries across the globe have made a clear priority to embed neuroethics scholarship and research in these projects or to emphasize its role in parallel. The program and annual meeting activities celebrate INS's commitment to international dialogue on critical issues at the intersection of neuroscience, society, and ethics. Panelists for this year's session include representatives from national-level funded project for neuroscience, as well as embedded ethicists within those projects, and will discuss how neuroethics questions addressed within each project reflect the cultural context of the countries in which they are situated. The session will serve as an idea incubator and include a group discussion for deeper, actionable collaboration across projects and across institutions.
