The CMME closely cooperates with the ICMM RefC to realize the ICMM Courses on Military Medical Ethics in Times of Armed Conflict and the ICMM Workshop Series on Military Medical Ethics.
As an academic project, research in military medical ethics and academic publications are a core activity of the CMME. In relation to the Workshop Series on Military Medical Ethics, we publish an annual proceedings volume.
