Are you eager to explore the ethical questions that arise from migration? Do you want to exchange ideas with international scholars and actively engage in discussions about justice, rights, and responsibility in both European and global contexts? 

Then apply now for the Passau Summer School for Applied Ethics! 

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.
