AEN2012 has come to an end!
The 3rd Australasian Ethics Network Conference (AEN2012) was held on 15–17 February with resounding success and a record number of registrations – over 340 delegates from Australia and New Zealand!
As the leading event of its kind in Australasia, this conference brought together a diverse range of delegates including HREC members, research ethics officers, managers and researchers to explore ethical and administrative aspects of human research ethics and integrity.
Excitingly, this year’s conference also introduced a pre-conference HREC101 workshop, coordinated by Prof Colin Thomson, and tailored specifically to new and continuing HREC members.
A huge thank you to all the speakers, chairs, panelists and delegates for their participation, for so willingly sharing their expertise and knowledge, and for making AEN2012 such a success!
We look forward to seeing you again at the next AEN conference!
