The meeting was founded by the Open Society Institute of New York.The objective of this society is to facilitate contacts and exchange information betwen participating countries concerning human rights, patients rights, ethical issues, and to review the present situation in these areas. The CEEAB values and plans to encourage free, open and reasoned discussion of bioethical issues, to initiate collaboration with participants, other societies and organisations. The president is Prof. Bela Blasszauer. CEEAB will provide moral support and practical guidence on patients rights legislation, movements, and organisations. It will stimulate the development of research, teaching in bioethics, and plans to organise scholarships, and exchange programs for the future. Membership will extend to ethicists, lawyers, physicians, nurses, philosophers, theologians, sociologists,etc. working in the field of bioethics. They will be primarily fom Central and Eastern Europe. However,those outside this area will also be able to join the association. The flow of information will be ensured through annual meetings, conferences, continous journal publications, newslwtters and internet.
