Resources are gathered in this section that provide more information on Ethics Centres.
Ethics Centres here are loosely defined as institutions prominently concerned with ethics and science. This can comprise physical as well as virtual centres, academic as well as non-academic organisations. Providing a documentation department has not been a criterion. Resources on documentation in the field of science and ethics can be found in the section Documentation Practice.
Ethics centres, especially academic ethics centres, are often actively involved in research projects and might employ experts in science and ethics.
