Next year, the 14th International Conference on Ethics Education is going to take place, here in the Netherlands!

Jointly organised by the International Association for Ethics Education (IAEE) and the Department of Ethics, Law and Medical Humanities from AmsterdamUMC

With the central theme ‘Shaping the future: educating responsible professionals’, this conference aims to bring together educators, researchers, academics, (health) professionals and students for mutual learning and debate on the current status quo in the field of ethics education and Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) and its relevance to shape professionals. What is achieved in training and education, and what steps are needed in the near future in order to help stimulate responsible professionals? What moral competences are professionals expected to develop and what type of knowledge, skills, attitude and behaviour can be trained via (formal and informal) education? How do current innovations (e.g. AI) challenge ethical education practices and approaches?

The conference will bring forward keynote lectures from experts in the field to share their latest insights and debate the conference theme. There will also be plenary sessions and opportunities to network and further debate these topics. The first day (24th of June 2026) will be dedicated to thematic and interactive pre-conference workshops, where participants will be invited to enrol in interactive discussions on topics such as the ethical use of AI in health and education, moral case deliberation or training in RCR (including open science and reproducibility).
