The scope of the conference

The International Conferences on Science and Society will be a series of congresses with annually changing topics at the interface between the biosciences and the humanities. While both academic fields have their own well-established platforms of scholarly exchange, the dialogue between both is frequently not appropriately

Their unprotected commercial use by companies led to severe controversies, and this problem became a hot topic of discussion in the humanities in academia and many other groups in the general public.
