The best three presentations, ranked by an experienced jury of a bioethicist and a journalist, will be awarded.

I the second part of the symposium, attendees will get the chance to network with long-serving editors of bioethics journals who will explain tricks and tips how to get your papers published. They will answer all questions you may have and provide precious insights into how peer-review journals function.
