Durante todo este tiempo, la Cátedra de Bioética de la Universidad Pontificia Comillas ha contribuido activamente a la reflexión, diálogo y divulgación de la Bioética.

El segon, del 26 d'abril de 2002, va aplegar destacats representants de les universitats de Catalunya sota el lema "Els reptes de la bioètica al segle XXI".
