International Congress Renovabis

The 29th International Congress Renovabis will take place from 9 to 11 September 2025 at the Catholic Academy in Berlin and as livestream under the title “Inviolable and Vulnerable. Human Dignity between Universal Claim and Social Conflict Lines in Europe.”

In an increasingly polarized society, human dignity is often instrumentalized and called into question. For Christians, however, it remains inalienable, as it is given to every human being as a reflection of God. Our goal is to promote a deeper understanding of human dignity and the mechanisms that protect it, while reflecting on the dilemmas that arise in different social and political contexts. This raises crucial questions: Where do the greatest challenges for the protection of human dignity lie today? What tensions are emerging in Europe? And what responsibility do politics, the Church, religious communities, and society as a whole bear in safeguarding and strengthening human dignity?

The granting of a subsidy towards travel and accommodation costs is possible under certain circumstances for participants from Central, Eastern and South-Eastern Europe after appropriate justification. Please send the completed form by 4 August at the latest to kongress@renovabis.de.
