Jean Monnet Educational Module on Comparative EU and US Law, Public Policy and Ethics in the Regulation of Research and Development in the Life Sciences
In September 2005, the European Union awarded the law school a grant to develop a Jean Monnet Module of Courses on Comparative EU and US Law, Public Policy and Ethics in the Regulation of Research and Development in the Life Sciences, funded by the European Union. This module is a collaboration with the law school's Center on International and Comparative Law and the Indiana University Center for Bioethics. The module will also draw on the resources of the law school's Center for Intellectual Property Law and Innovation.
