Scholarship on ethical issues related to the brain and mind

The International Neuroethics Society and Società Italiana di Neuroetica invite students, researchers, and professionals from around the world to submit session proposals and research abstracts for Neuroethics 2025. The conference includes opportunities to participate virtually or in-person in Munich, Germany, on April 23-25, 2025.

 

You do not need to be a member of either Society to submit, and submissions may but are not required to align with the meeting’s theme on 'Neuroethics and AI'. The theme will focus attention on the many questions and ethical issues related to the brain and mind that emerge with the latest advances in and applications of AI and neurotechnology.

 

Research Abstracts

Submitted research may address any topic related to neuroethics — a field that studies the implications of neuroscience for human self-understanding, ethics, and policy. Abstracts should clearly demonstrate that the research in some way relates to the brain and/or brain functions, and that it engages in some way with ethics and ethical, legal and/or clinical considerations.

Abstracts should be 250-350 words in length and must be in English. Authors with an accepted research abstract will be invited to present a poster or give a talk. The priority submission deadline is October 31, 2024. See the call for complete instructions.

 

Authors at all career stages are eligible and encouraged to submit, and may submit up to two abstracts. There are no restrictions or limitations regarding an author’s program, discipline, or area of study. We especially welcome abstracts from our colleagues from marginalized groups and/or with perspectives that are underrepresented in the field.

Session Proposals

We are seeking session proposals to be considered for the scientific program. Proposals must include a draft title, a list of confirmed speakers, and a written description that is 250-350 words in length. Proposals must be in English.

 

There are few restrictions regarding the format of the session and we encourage creative and interdisciplinary approaches. Sessions can be either 60 or 90 minutes long, and may address any topic related to neuroethics.

Proposals may align with the meeting’s theme, but this is not required. The program will include a broad range of topics related to the ethical, legal, clinical, social, and policy considerations raised by brain sciences and technology.

 

Proposals are due by October 31, 2024.
