Abstract

The project addresses the conditions for pharmaceutical research and development and their public communication in exceptional times. Its aim is to investigate the implications of this situation for decision-making processes deemed as responsible in the biomedical community and society. It will build on insights from biomedical researchers, philosophers as well as historians and discuss results with a wide, interdisciplinary audience.
