2023 SERIES: TOWARDS PARTICIPATORY, INCLUSIVE, ECO-SOCIAL HEALTH: HOW TO INNOVATE AND CREATE BRIDGES BETWEEN DEMOCRACY, THE ENVIRONMENT AND OUR HEALTH CARE ENVIRONMENTS?
More than ever, the links between health and the environment are known and constitute a burning issue for citizens. But their power to act on their social and natural environment depends closely on the existence of democratic institutions that make room for the voice of individuals and groups. It is to address these questions that, in this new series of conferences, we will address the links between, on the one hand, democracy and its institutions and, on the other hand, the development of sustainable health. Together, we will discuss marginalization and inclusion in the context of women’s health, the links between sustainable health and prevention, access to green spaces and spaces for civic discourse and their impact on health, democratic reform of health systems, and numerous innovative experiments aimed at democratizing health and creating citizen spaces.
Because thinking about health means working to improve it for everyone.

2022 series: Information and Health: Still the crux of the matter?
After decades of promoting patient rights and organizational transparency, is information still the crux of the matter in healthcare? It is clear that many barriers to an optimal flow of information: the opacity of information on the functioning of the health system, the overabundance of contradictory information on mental and physical health, the emergence of telehealth platforms, and the role of the media in providing accurate information on health in times of pandemic. The Montreal Health Ethics Conference Series will call on various stakeholders from political, scientific, and government circles, as well as patients to determine whether information and its accessibility are still a fundamental health issue. We will try together to understand why and for whom this issue persists and discuss the possible solutions and promising practices

2021 series: Wellness, health and human flourishing
More than ever, the question of well-being is at the heart of our lives and our concerns, but what role do we really give it in our personal and professional lives and more broadly in our society? Does the dream of a good life guide our health and social choices? Is this ideal accessible to all? How does our health care system respond to different visions of health and wellness? What place does this ideal take in our social, economic and political life? This series of lectures will highlight the perspectives of leading international experts reflecting on ethical issues related to wellness. The series will also focus on a number of critical interventions that will lead us to reflect on an inclusive vision of wellness and health, particularly for Aboriginal peoples, visible minorities and marginalized people.
