Fritz Jahr and European Roots of Bioethics: Establishing of an International Scholar's Network

Having established preliminary cooperation with Hans-Martin Sass, as well as with the insitutions he is affiliated with (Kennedy Institute of Ethics Georgetown University, Washington, D.C., USA and Center for Medical Ethics, Ruhr University, Bochum, Germany), the group of Croatian bioethicists from University of Rijeka - Faculty of Medicine (under supervision of Amir Muzur) applied in October 2010 to Croatian Science Foundation for a international scientific project on exploring Fritz Jahr' work and European roots of bioethics. Having started in February 2011, this project has developed several main activities, one of the first being the organization of international conference with eminent world experts either with the interest in or already recognised in the field related to European approach to bioethics. This mini- conference was both attended by some of the major bioethics scholars and by representatives of younger generations. Although this conference was the first to explore the work of Fritz Jahr and European roots of bioethics, many important results were achieved: the establishing of the network of scholars' (EUROBIONETHICS), the founding of the basis for future communication and scientific cooperation, but also the opening of a new platform for the most needed dialogue and respect of cultural differences in modern world.
