bid final conference - dialogue to dialogue

 The bid final conference "dialogue to dialogue" offered an overview on three and half years of bid activities as well as an opportunity to discuss key challenges and potential approaches to improve the dialogue between neuroscience and society. Here a short report on the conference and a video interview with Walter Glannon, bioethicist at the University of Calgary, Canada. 
On 6 July 2011, the Dialogue to dialogue - bid final conference took place at the Stanhope Hotel in Brussels, Belgium.
 
The meeting was an opportunity to present three and half  years of initiatives, workshops, publications about neuroscience and its impact on society and discuss the main outcomes throught the voices of previous bid events' participants. Key challanges and potential approaches were also analysed together with keynote speakers.
