16 - 18 October 2024: „Intergenerational Issues in Health Care Ethics: Responsibility, Solidarity and Sustainability”. Conference at the Hanse-Wissenschaftskolleg – Institute for Advanced Studies, Delmenhorst. Funded by Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft and HWK Delmenhorst. Further information see below.

Current challenges in health care ethics show that intergenerational perspectives are becoming increasingly relevant, for example in the ethical analysis of problems such as the future of biomedical research, the post-antibiotic era, and public health-measures in pandemic combat. However, in these approaches, there is the need for clarification of fundamental concepts such as responsibility, solidarity, and sustainability, as well as the concept of generation itself.

Against this backdrop, this three-day interdisciplinary and international conference addresses intergenerational issues in health care ethics. It is organized in three sessions on responsibility, solidarity and sustainability. It aims to explore how normative aspects of responsibility, solidarity and sustainability between present and future generations can be ethically investigated. In order to understand intergenerational relations adequately, the notions of "collectives" and "generations" need to be explained within their temporal and spatial frames. The conference aims to explore and discuss their normative foundations.

Confirmed speakers (in alphabetical order): Dieter Birnbacher, Angus James Dawson, Nancy Jecker, Federica Lucivero, Christian Munthe, Bridget Pratt, Cristina Richie, David Schweikard
