The Bioethics Database was created in 1998 and is being updated since on a regular basis. It comprises over 645 bioethics institutions (bioethics committees, commissions, training, research and documentation centres) in over 80 countries, including information on activities and publications.

Information is based on replies obtained from a widely distributed questionnaire and has been gathered in cooperation with National Commissions and Permanent Delegations to UNESCO.
