We kindly invite you to a conference, called Caring for Non-Humans: Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Care among Animals, the Environment, and AI. The conference will take place in Prague, Czech Republic, from 12 to 14 October 2026. 

What is the meaning of care in more-than-human worlds? How should we care for non-humans? How do non-humans care for each other and how do they care for humans? These questions stand at the heart of the conference Caring for Non-Humans, hosted by the Center for Environmental and Technology Ethics – Prague (CETE-P).

The full program will be published soon here.
