Bioethical research takes place in the context of Danish Centre for Bioethics and Risk Assessment (CeBRA), which is a platform for interdisciplinary research and is communally owned by the Faculty of Agricultural Science, Aarhus University; the Faculty of Life Sciences, University of Copenhagen; the National Food Institute, Technical University of Denmark and the University of Copenhagen (all faculties).

 

CeBRA’s task is to perform and further interdisciplinary research in the crossroads of the humanities, social sciences and biology, in particular about ethics and risk issues in relation to scientifically produced biological knowledge and its applications, hereby also how those questions are handled by society. CeBRA’s research concentrates on topics that are relevant to the mother institutions’ other research activities, and where cooperation across disciplinary and institutional barriers will strengthen the quality of the research.
