The upcoming conference, REC2023: (Re)Framing Ethics, will be hosted by the University of Bath on the 6th and 7th July 2023. It will bring together academics, civil servants, industry workers, and more to open an interdisciplinary and inclusive conversation around the ever-present role of ethics in our work. The broad aim of the conference is to help move from conceiving of ethics a ‘tick box’ exercise to a fluid, complex, and continuous process that touches upon every stage of our research and work. The first day will feature paper presentations, whilst the second will involve a range of practical activities: workshops, training sessions, and much more. See below for a summary of key information about the event, or click the links above for more detail.

Day 1: 9am - 5:15pm (Drinks Reception from 5:15pm)

Day 2: 9am - 4:30pm
