The aim of the conference is to gather philosophers and scholars from other disciplines primarily, but not exclusively, from Central and Southeastern Europe who will present papers on various topics in contemporary applied ethics, ranging from particular case studies to more general (foundational and methodological) considerations. In keeping with the intention to promote rational and critical approach to, and public understanding of, the work in applied ethics, we encourage clearly structured submissions adhering to the principles of conceptual rigor, soundness of argumentation and scientific accuracy. The plenary lectures at the conference will be given by Professor John Harris (University of Manchester – Institute for Science, Ethics and Innovation), Professor Ingmar Persson (University of Gothenburg – Department of Philosophy, Linguistics and Theory of Science) and Professor Lukas Meyer (University of Graz – Department of Philosophy).
