The Society for the Advancement of Philosophy (www.upf.hr) and the Institute of Philosophy – Zagreb (www.ifzg.hr) are organizing the ZAGREB APPLIED ETHICS CONFERENCE 2021 (ZAEC 2021) from 29 to 30 September 2021 in Zagreb, Croatia.

As always, 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.

As the title of this year’s conference indicates, contributions are expected to address notions of harm, intention and responsibility. We have the pleasure to announce that the plenary lecture at the conference will be given by Professor Helen Frowe (Department of Philosophy – Stockholm University).

We invite you to participate in the conference with a paper presentation no longer than 20 minutes (each presentation will be followed by 10 minutes discussion). If you wish to present a paper in the conference, please fill in the attached Application Form and send it to zaec2021@upf.hr no later than 1 June 2021. Notification of acceptance will be sent to authors by 15 June 2021. The official language of the conference is English.

The conference is planned to be an in-person event, but it might be converted to a virtual event if the epidemiological situation does not improve by then.

We are looking forward to your applications!
