From 8 to 9 November 2024, the Working Group on Medical Ethics and Islam, together with the Berlin Institute for Islamic Theology and the Society for Arabic and Islamic Law, is organising the international conference Perspectives on the Development of Islamic Law: Philosophy of Law & Islamic Medical Ethics. The conference approaches the two main topics from a theory-led, conceptual perspective (Islamic philosophy of law) and with a practice-orientated and geographical focus on Germany (Islamic medical ethics).

A separate panel for workshop discussions will be offered on 8 November 2024 for junior researchers working on one of the two main topics. Under the direction of Dr. Hadil Lababidi (Institute for Social Ethics, University of Zurich), there will be the opportunity to present research projects and/or qualification papers and thus make them accessible to a wider circle of interested parties. The papers can be presented in German or English. If you are interested, please register by 18 October 2024, stating the topic and a short description (80-100 words) via the general registration address for the conference (bit.infos@hu-berlin.de).
