SUMMARY:The Ethics of Health Research: Between Biomedicine and Anthropology
DESCRIPTION:The Swiss Human Research Act (HRA) lays the legal basis regulat
 ing research done in the health domain. As such it has important implicatio
 ns for anthropological research studying health and biomedicine, its instit
 utions, practices, and experiences. One of the key issues relates to the am
 biguity of medical / health anthropological research as entering (or not) i
 n the scope of the HRA, with the subsequent necessity (or not) to apply for
  approval from cantonal ethical commissions. This creates tensions between 
 institutionalized and processual ethics (Perrin et al. 2018). It raises als
 o fundamental and practical questions for anthropology and related social s
 ciences, and shapes interdisciplinary collaborations and dialogue.\n\nAs th
 e Human Research Act applies to “health-related-data”, what are the differe
 nt understandings at stake when defining them? What are the scope and bound
 aries of “health”? Is ethical approval from cantonal commissions only neede
 d for “patients” or also for professionals? What are then the various impli
 cations between involving patients, citizen, or health professionals? In or
 der to reflect on the challenges and issues raised by the institutional and
  biomedical framing of “ethics” of health research for the anthropology of 
 health and medicine, and allied social sciences, the Commissions Ethical an
 d Deontological Think Tank (EDTT) and Medical Anthropology Switzerland (MAS
 ) organize a one-day workshop on March 27, 2026. It will take place at the 
 University of Bern, Hauptgebäude, Kuppelraum, 104, 117, 217.\n\nOrganized b
