International conference.
9 – 11 october 2024
Τaking into account studies on science and theology since the 1980’s, the conference aim is to analyze in which ways the ecological urgency, which puts into question scientific progress, has an impact on science and theology questions today, in particular through the development of technosciences and related engineering since the beginning of the 21st century.
Languages of the conference: French and English, with simultaneous translation
