Paolo Traverso and Monica Consolandi from FBK participate in ICEEL 2026, conceived as an interdisciplinary and dialogical space. Scientists, clinicians, ethicists, theologians, philosophers, communicators, artists, and members of the interested public are invited to engage one another across disciplinary boundaries.

Quid est homo? Quis est homo?
What is the human being? Who is the human being?

With this guiding question, the 3rd International Conference Ethics of Engineering Life (ICEEL 2026) invites participants from around the world to reflect on one of the most profound and enduring challenges of human self-understanding—now newly sharpened by rapid developments in the life sciences and medicine.
