Pan-Asian Symposium on Morality, Character and Wisdom, JULY 23rd-25th 2019 in Colombo, Sri Lanka [2019年03月13日]
開催日:2019年7月23日から25日
会場:Hilton Colombo
Dear all,
We would like to draw your attention to the first Pan-Asian symposium on Morality, Character, and Wisdom, July 23rd-25th in Colombo, Sri Lanka.
With the generous support of the Templeton World Charity Foundation, the symposium will bring together top scientists interested in the questions of moral judgment, character development, and wisdom (e.g., empathy, open-mindedness, humility). The symposium aims to provide a novel platform for fostering meaningful research connections for scholars from different parts of the world. It will also include a session on applying character virtues and wisdom in medical settings. It will be the first meeting of its kind in the Asian region.
We are happy to offer travel honoraria to subsidize travel and hotel costs to accepted participants (we anticipate providing 50 awards, with priority given to researchers from the Asian region).
The format of the symposium is single‐session, with a mix of keynotes, short “data-blitz” format flash talks, a poster session, a presentation of new funding opportunities, workshops on the state-of-the-art measurement of virtues and wisdom, and cultural activities. To ensure the symposium will foster discussion in a small-group setting across specialists in the fields of psychology, philosophy, and education, the conference is limited to 70 participants. The symposium will begin with the theme of morality and character on day one, followed by a wisdom theme on day two, and concluded with a morning session on day three focused on morality, character, and wisdom in the medical setting.
We invite both junior and senior researchers to submit a 150 words summary of their proposed presentation by April 1st, 2019 online here:

Best regards,
Igor Grossmann
