Introduction:
The main aim of the Brocher – Hastings Center Summer Academy is to bring together distinguished professors from different disciplines and countries and highly promising researchers willing to acquire a strong background on the Medical, Ethical and Legal Implications of Human enhancement ». The high level of teaching and the limited number of participants gives the students a rare opportunity to meet personally many established international professors. Lectures, daily working groups and a round table are essential components of this event.
