The Outcomes of the Project »Fritz Jahr and European Bioethics«

The project entitled „Fritz Jahr and European roots of bioethics: establishing an international scholars' network“, supported by Croatian Science Foundation, had been launched in February 2011 and completed in August of the same year. The major scope of it was to research the life and work of Fritz Jahr (1895-1953), the German theologian and teacher who had been found to be the first one to use the word „bioethics“ and the concept of this discipline. Materials and Methods: Described and analysed are the immediate outcomes of the project. Results: Within the outcomes of the project, the most important ones are: 1. 1st International Conference on Fritz Jahr and European Bioethics ; 2. a web-site devoted to Fritz Jahr (www.eurobionethics.com) ; 3. Rijeka Declaration on the Future of Bioethics ; 4. a special issue of the Jahr journal devooted to the Conference ; and other. Conclusion: The project has revealed not only data about life and work of Fritz Jahr, but also the curious ways of the dissemination of his influence, mainly to Europe, South America, and Asia. It has also proved the importance and usefulness of the study of other intellectual precursors of bioethics. Commented are some further steps and activities resulting from the project
