Ladies and Gentlemen,
The Center for American & European Studies (scientific society conducting primarily scientific activity in an independent and continuous manner) invites you to participate in the 3rd International Academic Conference "Life & Death".
When?
In case of a high number of registrations, we reserve the right to extend the conference, including the date: Sunday 5 July.
Online
Microsoft Teams
Platform
The conference will be held on Saturday, July 4, 2026 between 9.00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. CET (Warsaw/Berlin/Rome/Prague time) in an online format on the Microsoft Teams platform.
The length of the conference depends on the number of speakers. In case of a large number of registrations, we reserve the possibility of extending the conference to Sunday, July 5, 2026.
The main focus of the conference is a discussion on life and death – their concepts, phenomena, causes, manifestations, forms, and consequences.
We will address these issues from the perspective of social sciences (law, economics, sociology, political science, security studies, religious studies), humanities (e.g., philosophy, history, psychology, cultural studies, literary studies, media studies, anthropology, theology, pedagogy), medical and health sciences (including obstetrics, psychiatry, pathology, surgery, and dietetics), natural sciences, exact sciences, and engineering and technical sciences (including physics, astronomy, robotics, biology, chemistry, and geography). This will allow us to approach the study and analysis of life and death in as multidimensional a way as possible.
We will also discuss the phenomenon of life and death and the multitude of their interpretations from the perspective of culture and art – film, television series, literature, games, and music.
Topics may be both contemporary and historical in nature and may address any issues, regardless of geographical boundaries.
We encourage you to freely choose the topic of your presentation according to your own interests and specialization.
Example research areas include:
The above-mentioned thematic areas are only exemplary – we strongly encourage you to go beyond them.
Moreover, the speeches may be interdisciplinary in nature, combining a variety of fields.
We believe in freedom of academic discussion and do not censor speeches for worldview or political reasons.
Original and unconventional speeches will always find recognition from the Conference Committee.
Presentations may be delivered in the following languages:
Panels (sessions) during the conference will be arranged accordingly.
