The summit to be held in Cambridge, MA from May 21-23 will focus on how biotechnologies impact the meaning of being human
The Global Observatory for Genome Editing International Summit will be held from May 21-23, 2025 in Cambridge, MA.
The Summit foregrounds questions about biotechnologies that are poised to alter the meaning of being human. It will bring together a rich mix of speakers, panels, and events reflecting diverse disciplines, cultures, and social standpoints. It will expand the range of human experience and perspectives that should have a voice in governing biotechnology as a force for human progress.
This summit complements the three International Summits on Human Genome Editing held in 2015, 2018, and 2023. The Cambridge Summit will explore multiple understandings of the meaning of being human—cultural, legal, religious, and scientific—and their implications for genome editing and other emerging biotechnologies.
The event is supported by the generosity of the John Templeton Foundation and the McQuillan Institute for Science, Technology and the Human Future. It is co-sponsored by the Harvard Kennedy School of Government’s Program on Science, Technology & Society, Arizona State University, and the University of Wisconsin–Madison.
All sessions are free and open to the public and will also be livestreamed.
