The inspiring international bioethics conversations don't end in Johannesburg!

After an incredible World Congress of Bioethics (WCB) in Johannesburg, we're excited to carry its energy, ideas, and international spirit forward to Berlin, Germany, in 2028, under the title ‘Caring for the next generations. Bioethics in a world of ecological, technological, and social transformations’.

The WCB is the largest and most important international congress for bioethical research, and will be held in Germany for the first time, from 14-16 June 2028. The event will be preceded by the two-day Feminist Approaches to Bioethics (FAB) congress from 12-13 June.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who contributed to this year's inspiring discussions, thought-provoking presentations, and new collaborations. We can't wait to welcome the global bioethics community to Berlin in two years' time.

Until then, stay connected! We'll keep you updated with news on the Call for Abstracts, keynote speakers, programme highlights, and everything you need to know on the road to Berlin 2028.

The WCB 2028 organising team is made up of four leading bioethics departments in Germany, IMDE - Institute for Medical and Data Ethics, Heidelberg University, the Institute for Ethics and History of Health in Society (IEHHS), University of Augsburg, the Institute of Medical Ethics and History of Medicine, Universitätsmedizin Göttingen and the Institute for the History of Medicine and Ethics in Medicine Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin, together with the office of the German Academy of Ethics in Medicine (Akademie Für Ethik in Der Medizin) .
