We are delighted to announce that we have just signed an academic partnership with the Pontificia Università della Santa Croce within the programme: ‘Towards a Culture of Care. A response to the anthropological crisis.’

Our academic director, Prof. Rosa Lastra will represent HRF as a member of the Scientific Committee of the partnership that among other activities is organizing a conference in March 2025.

The conference aims to delve into the issue of altruism as an essential link between the Self and Otherness, interpreting it as a specific human feature, both on a theoretical and applied level. During the conference, a philosophical reflection on altruism will open up an interdisciplinary perspective on medicine, ecology, communication, pedagogy, theology, and sociology, among others.

HRF will coordinate and moderate a workshop on ‘The value of the Home in the Culture of Care’ at this meeting. We shall share more details soon.

In the meantime, you will find the info on the Conference here.

If you are interested in these topics, you can submit an extended abstract (700 words, either in Italian or English) to Francesco Russo (frusso@pusc.it) and Luca Valera (luca.valera@uva.es) by October 31, 2024. The organizers will contact the authors of the selected abstracts and inform them of the participation details by November 15, 2024. The conference will be held at the Pontificia Università della Santa Croce (Rome, Italy) from March 6 to 8, 2025.
