2021 Annual Conference
INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE
The Conference in Sarajevo will be cancelled this year!
Societas Ethica | 57th Annual Conference 2021
Online Conference
Time of Crisis - Time of Hope
August 19-21, 2021 (via zoom)
Deadline for Call for Papers: 15 June 2021
Dear members of Societas Ethica,
because of the Corona pandemic we are unfortunately compelled to cancel our annual conference on "Intercultural Ethics" in Sarajevo this year. We are very unhappy about this, however we know that the basic conditions are too uncertain to carry out a conference responsibly in Sarajevo. We agreed with our members and partners in Sarajevo that we will organize a conference on this topic in Sarajevo at another time with more favourable conditions.
Instead, we have decided to hold a digital conference this year. Between the 19th-21st August 2021 we would like to present a conference on the topic »Crisis and Hope« where we discuss current issues from the ethical point of view (not only the Corona pandemic). Further information can be found in our newsletter of June 2021 and on our homepage.
With kind regards from the Board
Arne Manzeschke
