CONFERENCES

SELECTED CONFERENCES

English

This page brings together a selection of the conferences I have attended or spoken at. It is not a complete list and is not meant to be. These are the occasions I remember fondly, or that set something in motion.

Most of them were held in English; only a few of the talks were given in German. That follows from the subject itself. Bioethics is negotiated internationally, and the more interesting debates rarely took place in Germany. One contribution, the conference in Bangkok, is linked to a video in the text below.

Diese Seite versammelt eine Auswahl von Tagungen und Konferenzen, an denen ich teilgenommen oder vorgetragen habe. Vollständig ist die Liste nicht und soll sie auch nicht sein, es sind die Stationen, an die ich mich gern erinnere oder die inhaltlich etwas ausgelöst haben.

Der überwiegende Teil ist englischsprachig, deutsche Vorträge finden sich nur wenige darunter. Das liegt am Gegenstand: Bioethik wird international verhandelt, und die interessanteren Debatten fanden selten in Deutschland statt. Zu einem Beitrag, der Konferenz in Bangkok, ist im Text ein Video verlinkt.
