Conference

Desirable Futures:
Interdisciplinary Perspectives

International experts discuss possible and probable futures, and the challenges we face in making these futures desirable. Participants will speak across disciplines to consider ethics, artificial intelligence and resilience among other topics. At each session, a succinct lead presentation will be followed by several specialist commentaries, setting the scene for a substantial, free and open discussion. This is a rare opportunity to engage with globally leading thinkers in the field of futures.

An event organized by the Center for Life Ethics together with the Institute for Science and Ethics and the University of Bonn.

The event will be held in English. Participate in-person or online - please enter your preferred mode in the registration form on the right.
