Registration is open for Societas Ethica annual conference “Crisis & Recovery – Ethics in Interdisciplinary Dialogue”
Registration is now open for the international conference “Crisis & Recovery – Ethics in Interdisciplinary Dialogue”, taking place at the University of Tartu from 20 to 23 August 2026. The event also marks the 62nd annual conference of Societas Ethica – The European Society for Research in Ethics.
The conference addresses the ethical dimensions of crises that profoundly shape the contemporary world. The refugee crisis, the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, climate change, Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine, and the growing tensions within liberal democracies affect individuals, societies, and the environment on multiple levels. These issues will be explored through interdisciplinary dialogue, in which semiotics and memory studies are among the fields given particular attention, alongside a broader range of ethical and academic perspectives.
The keynote speakers are Margit Sutrop (University of Tartu), Ingolf U. Dalferth (Claremont Graduate University / University of Zurich), Susan Petrilli (University of Bari Aldo Moro), Jaana Hallamaa (University of Helsinki), and Hans Ruin (Södertörn University).
Registration is open until 12 June 2026 and can be completed via the Societas Ethica website.
The website also provides the conference programme, list of papers, book of abstracts, further information on keynote speakers and lectures, as well as practical information on travelling to Tartu.
The conference is organised by Societas Ethica, the University of Tartu (School of Theology and Religious Studies, Centre for Ethics, and Institute of Philosophy and Semiotics), the Institute of Theology of the Estonian Evangelical Lutheran Church, and the University of Rostock.
The members of the conference’s Scientific Organizing Committee in Estonia are Thomas-Andreas Põder (Theological Institute of the Estonian Evangelical Lutheran Church / University of Tartu), Chair, Mati Simm (University of Tartu), Conference Manager, Johann-Christian Põder (University of Rostock), Kadri Simm (University of Tartu), Siobhan Kattago (University of Tartu), and Silvi Salupere (University of Tartu).
The conference’s academic partner project is GODINEST: The Sign “God” in Post-Secular Estonia (PRG3064), funded by the Estonian Research Council and based at the University of Tartu’s School of Theology and Religious Studies.
