This event gathered various experts from across world to discuss issues of bioethics and technology transfer. This led to establishment of a UNESCO Regional Bioethics Centre at Egerton University, Njoro campus, Kenya and was followed by another conference at the Centre on Bioethical Perspectives and Practices in Research, Medicine, Life Sciences and Related Technologies in Sub-Saharan Africa, which gathered researchers, scientists, observers and guests from sub-saharan Africa and other parts of the world with an interest in bioethical issues in Africa.
