CHANGER at the 23rd Lošinj Days of Bioethics

The CHANGER project was presented at the 23rd Lošinj Days of Bioethics, which was held in Mali Lošinj, Croatia, between 11–14 May 2025.

Partners, Antonija Mijatović and Ana Marušić, from the School of Medicine, University of Split, presented findings from the CHANGER project, under the title Challenges to ethic review of emerging technologies, focusing on strengthening ethics in European research.

Their study mapped the challenges Research Ethics Committees face in evaluating projects involving new technologies, data sharing, and emerging human rights concerns. Through a scoping review and AI-assisted analysis, the team identified key ethical risks—including gaps in informed consent, privacy, and transparency—and developed an interactive Evidence and Gap Map to support more effective, future-oriented ethics reviews.
