Kurzbeschreibung: Fifty years after the publication of the well-known 1971 book Bioethics: Bridge to the Future by Van Rensselaer Potter, and the foundation of the Kennedy Institute of Ethics, the main aim of the 38th EACME Annual Conference in Varese (Italy) is to reflect upon the theme of dialogue as a bridge to overriding gaps in bioethics. Such gaps are even more evident after the Covid-19 pandemic. The emergency has underlined the great need for bioethical reflections, yet at the same time it has highlighted how difficult it is for bioethicists to significantly affect the public debate. In other words, bioethics has not been as effective as we would have liked. These aspects prompt us to reflect on the very roots of our field, facing both old and new challenges. We have singled out four main topics:

A) The dialogue on bioethics:

on the basis of what we have just said, with this topic we would like to attract general reflections on theories and methodologies in bioethics, the role of bioethics in our pluralistic society, and the different approaches in bioethics. We also included the sub-topic “Bioethics education” to reflect not only on education for health care workers, but also on the need to raise awareness regarding bioethical issues.

B) The dialogue in clinical practice:

the host center for EACME 2020 has always been interested in addressing ethical issues in clinical practice. With this topic, we would like to attract papers which stress the importance of relationships in care practice and which address ethical issues in all the several sub-themes reported.

C) The dialogue with society and politics:

if we want bioethical reflection to influence public opinion, we also need to address the fascinating issue of the relationship with society and politics. We would therefore, like to attract papers concerning fairness and justice in health care, the role of mass media and social media

D) The dialogue towards the future:

new and emerging technologies. With this topic, we want to attract papers that investigate the ethical issues arising from the implementation of new technologies in medicine
