[Ethics and research between governance and information].
In Italy, as well as in the European Union, there is an increasing need for a common forum on ethics within scientific research. As regards the pivot issue of science governance, a central point of collection and standardization of the variety of different Italian scientific research and bioethics environments is desirable. A focal point of collaboration and discussion, and a credited site for information handling and spreading are also wellcome. The Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche website on Bioethics is conceived with these purposes, in order to restore the scientific community role in science public understanding, scientific policy counselling, and boost the processes of communication, value-sharing and social strengthening, which are useful for material and spiritual development of our country.
