This was followed by Prof. Dr Hans-Georg Dederer, Chair of Constitutional and Administrative Law, Public International Law, European and International Economic Law at the University of Passau, who offered an informative look behind the scenes of the German Ethics Council and explained its working methods as well as the current topic of neurotechnology.
The event underlined the potential of collaboration between university research and clinical practice as part of the MCN. During the informal networking, participants took the opportunity to deepen contacts and develop new ideas for cooperation.
The KliniKas format once again proved to be an important platform for interdisciplinary networking and knowledge transfer. The next event in this format will take place in the summer semester 2026.
