PASSAE 2026
Ethics of Migration: Justice, Rights, Responsibilities
Passau Summer School for Applied Ethics
27. - 31.7.2026

Program
This year, PASSAE focuses on migration ethics.
Together, we will examine pressing questions such as:
- How can theories of justice be applied to real-world migration challenges?
- What responsibilities do states and societies have toward refugees and migrants?
- How can the rights of particularly vulnerable groups in migration be protected?
- How do climate change and technology shape migration and our ethical duties?
PASSAE 2026 creates an international platform that fosters exchange among students from diverse fields. Participants will learn from experts, collaborate in teams, and explore normative aspects of migration. You’ll also get to experience the charming city of Passau with its rich cultural heritage.
