Centre for Ethics and Poverty Research
The Centre for Ethics and Poverty Research (CEPR) of the University of Salzburg is an interdisciplinary research institution with multiple integrations in national and international institutions and networks. It is dedicated to the research of poverty and social exclusion, in particluar in relation to questions of ethics and philosophy. The CEPR has currently members with backgrounds in social geography, political science, theology, history, literature studies, and philosophy.
The CEPR carries out (externally funded) research projects, organizes workshops and conferences, both for researchers as well as practitioners and policy makers, and its members regularly publish research papers and peer-reviewed edited volumes, special issues and monographs as well as reports and books aimed at a lay audience.
Since the 2013 the CEPR organizes the annual Salzburg Conference in Interdisciplinary Poverty Research on changing focus themes. In past years conferences covered the topics of child poverty (2016), absolute poverty in Europe (2015), and ethical issues in poverty alleviation (2014). These conferences are interdisciplinary and open to all interested researchers, practitioners and policy makers. They aim to bring together current research on poverty, inequality and social exclusion and to discuss policies and other measures of poverty alleviation. The conference theme of 2017 is religion and poverty.
The CEPR organizes also an annual Workshop in Philosophy and Poverty. In 2017 H.P.P. [Hennie] Lötter (Johannesburg) will be the invited speaker with a paper on: Poverty and Human Dignity.

Netzwerk Philosophie & Kindheit
|
The Netzwerk Philosophie & Kindheit [Network Philosophy & Childhood"] was established in 2014 and brings together German-speaking philosophers and interested scholars from other disciplines working on philosophical questions related to childhood. The network has currently more than thirty members from Germany, Switzerland, and Austria.
The network is open to all interested colleagues and holds a yearly workshop on changing topics, which is organized as part of the annual Tagung für Praktische Philosophie [Conference on Practical Philosophy]. The aim of the network is to foster collaboration and to provide a forum for discussion and to share news. The network has its own blog and mailing list, which everyone interested in the philosophy of childhood can join, and post messages to. The network is coordinated by Gunter Graf (University of Salzburg) and Gottfried Schweiger (University of Salzburg), and welcomes new members. |
