CSIP Policy Forum ~ Law, Policy and Science – Exploring Tensions and Opportunities in the Field of Stem Cell Research

Video Conference

The Centre for the Study of Science and Innovation Policy (CSIP) invites all students, faculty and researchers interested in the study of science, technology and innovation policy to participate in a bi-weekly research forum. Each forum will involve a quick roundtable of introductions, a review of topical policy issues, one or more brief research reports and general discussion about research strategies and methods that are being or could be used to examine various angles of the policy system. You can simply drop in and listen or offer to present some of your findings. CSIP is initially focused on innovation challenges in the agricultural biosciences, energy, health innovation and big-data realms, but would entertain a wider range of discussions.

PRESENTED BY: Amy Zarzeczny, JSGS Associate Professor

Regulating fast moving fields of science can be challenging, particularly when it comes to identifying appropriate regulatory tools in the face of varied and sometimes diverse policy objectives. In this forum, Amy Zarzeczny will use the field of stem cell research and current tensions in Canada’s regulatory framework to encourage discussion and debate about key topics including issues with the use of criminal law to govern science, the role of public engagement and opportunities for innovative policy.
