Who is responsible for climate protection? What can be done to combat global inequality and poverty? How can global justice be linked to local traditions, cultural diversity and religious values? How can human rights be ethically justified as universal norms? What ethical opportunities and risks arise from digital transformation and the use of artificial intelligence?

The young researchers at the “Lucerne Summer University: Ethics in a Global Context LSUE” under the patronage of UNESCO are grappling with these ethical questions of today and tomorrow. The LSUE enables them to work together across the boundaries of academic subjects, cultures and worldviews to search for solutions in a global context.

This practical and action-oriented approach is the breeding ground for a constantly growing, international network in which responsible decision-makers can exchange ideas, consult and work together. “Know how, act now” is the guiding principle of this initiative.
