Biography

Henk ten Have was born in Voorschoten, the Netherlands in June 1951.[2] After completing his secondary school (grammar school, 'alpha') in May 1969 he started studying medicine at the University of Leiden and was awarded the Medical Degree in April 1976.[3] In 1978 and 1979 ten Have worked as a physician in the Municipal Health Services (GG&GD) in the city of Rotterdam.[4] In June 1982, Henk ten Have was appointed as part-time Instructor at the State University of Limburg in Maastricht, the Netherlands.[5] In January 1983 he was awarded the PhD degree in philosophy at the University of Leiden.[3] In July 1985 he was appointed professor in philosophy at the State University of Limburg.[4] In September 1991 Henk ten Have was appointed to the Catholic University of Nijmegen (now Radboud University Nijmegen) as Professor of Medical Ethics.[6] He became involved in many public debates as well as expert committees in the area of healthcare ethics and healthcare policies.[7] He was also appointed as member of the newly founded Central Committee on Research involving Human Subjects (CCMO) in the Netherlands (1999–2003), and served in the Ethical Issues Review Panel of WADA (World Anti-Doping Agency) (2006–2008).[8]

In September 2003, ten Have moved to UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) in Paris as Director of the Division of Ethics of Science and Technology.[9] Shortly after he had arrived, the member states invited the Director-General to explore the possibility of developing a universal declaration of global bioethical principles. Under his guidance, the International Bioethics Committee drafted the text and carried out consultations in many countries and with various stakeholders.[10] The Universal Declaration on Bioethics and Human Rights was unanimously adopted by all member states of UNESCO on 19 October 2005.[11] Since then, ten Have has set up several UNESCO programs to implement the Declaration, such as the Ethics Education program, the Global Ethics Observatory, and the National Bioethics Committees program.[3] Retiring from UNESCO in 2010, ten Have was appointed in July 2010 as Director of the Center for Healthcare Ethics at Duquesne University in Pittsburgh, U.S.A.[12][3] He retired in 2019.

Activities

IAEE

Henk ten Have is one of the founders of the International Association for Education in Ethics, established in April 2011.[20][21] He has been its Secretary and Treasurer until 2020.

The International Association for Education in Ethics will provide an international platform to: (a) exchange and analyze experiences with the teaching of ethics in various educational settings; (b) promote the development of knowledge and methods of ethics education; (c) function as a global center of contacts for experts in the field, and promote contacts between the members from countries around the world, and (d) enhance and expand the teaching of ethics at national, regional and international levels. IAEE has legally been established in Pennsylvania. The secretariat and treasury of the association are housed in the Center for Healthcare Ethics at Duquesne University in Pittsburgh, U.S.A..[22] The association has organized International Conferences in 2012 (Pittsburgh, U.S.A.), 2014 (Ankara, Turkey), 2015 (Curitiba, Brazil), 2016 (Logroño, Spain), 2017 (Mangalore, India), 2018 (Stellenbosch, South Africa) and 2019 (Oporto, Portugal).

International Journal of Ethics Education

The official journal of the International Association for Education in Ethics, the International Journal of Ethics Education has started to be published in 2016 with two annual issues. Henk ten Have is Editor-in-Chief.[23]

Medicine, Health Care and Philosophy

This is the official journal of the European Society for Philosophy of Medicine and Healthcare (ESPMH). The ESPMH was established in August 1987 by a group of European scholars, interested in cooperation in the field of philosophy and ethics of medicine and healthcare.[24] Henk ten Have was elected as Executive-Secretary of the new organization. The first annual conference took place in 1987 in Maastricht, the Netherlands with the theme ‘The growth of medical knowledge.’

Henk ten Have, as executive secretary, started a bi-annual newsletter in 1987 that developed into a more expanded bulletin. Because more and more ESPMH members were interested in publishing, the initiative was taken to create a new and real journal, entitled Medicine, Health Care and Philosophy. The journal started in 1998. Henk ten Have was the first Editor-in-Chief until 2003. He again became Editor-in-Chief (with Bert Gordijn) in 2010.[25]

Advancing Global Bioethics

Henk ten Have took the initiative (together with Bert Gordijn) to create a new book series in the field of global bioethics. Advancing Global Bioethics provides a forum for normative analysis of a vast range of important new issues in bioethics from a truly global perspective and with a cross-cultural approach. The series started in 2014 and includes now 15 volumes. Henk ten Have and Bert Gordijn are editors of the series.[26]
