The Global Forum on Bioethics in Research (GFBR) will hold a two-day meeting in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on 3-4 November 2016 on the theme of “Ethics of Research in Pregnancy”.
 
As part of the upcoming meeting, the GFBR is seeking case studies that bring attention to key ethical issues that have emerged when conducting research during pregnancy in low and middle income country settings. The case studies will help set out the unresolved challenges that stand in the way of the inclusion of pregnant women in research and on how best these challenges can be overcome.
 
The GFBR is also seeking participants to attend the meeting, with places awarded on a competitive basis.
