NHGRI is the major sponsor of the biennial ELSI Congress. The meeting brings together U.S. and international researchers to present their work on the ethical, legal and social implications of genomics research. If you’ve always wanted to attend the meeting, we have some bad news. Due to the pandemic, the Fifth ELSI Congress has been postponed until next year.
Do not despair. The good news is that a shortened program, the ELSI Virtual Forum, has replaced the in-person meeting and will be held June 15-16, 2020. The registration is free. - https://www.mhe.cuimc.columbia.edu/elsi-virtual-forum
More good news! Attending the Forum is free. All you need to do is register online. This will allow you to view and participate in any or all of the scientific sessions. If you have any questions, please get in touch with anyone on the ELSI Research team.
