Welcome to ICERE2025
The 2nd International Conference on Education, Religion and Ethics in a Post-Pandemic World (ICERE2025) is a special three-day, international and interdisciplinary, peer-reviewed event held Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, November 26-28, 2025 in Hiroshima, Japan at the Hiroshima City Garden Event Center. ICERE2025 is a hybrid event — participants may attend in-person or online.
About ICERE2025
This is the second installment of a three-year investigation of the impact of the COVID-19 impact on education, religion and ethics. Last year’s event was held in Japan and was attended by researchers, academics and students from the US, UK, Thailand, Moldova, Taiwan, India, Indonesia, Hong Kong, and elsewhere.
It was a small, intimate gathering held in Hiroshima that brought together a diverse group of passionate speakers and audience from two dozen countries. As we look back, the world seems to have been comparatively more at peace at that time, than it is now. Few could imagine that just five years on, the world would be beset by a devastating pandemic followed by economic strife, and the outbreak of war in eastern Europe and the Middle East.
Fast-forward to 2025 in which a post-pandemic world is now witnessing an intersection of challenges for education, religion and ethics: the very bedrock of healthy communities regardless of culture, beliefs or values. The foundation of ensuring equality, justice, stability, public health, economic development and so forth in a post-pandemic world is underpinned to these core fields and disciplines.
With the theme of Exploring New Horizons, ICERE2025 welcomes proposals of 300 words in English that consider unique perspectives on education, religion and ethics in a post-pandemic world. Submissions are due by Tuesday, August 12, 2025:
- AI, Education and Ethics
- Christianity and Education
- Distance Education
- Ethics, Law and Justice
- Faith and Spirituality
- Higher Education
- Hinduism and Buddhism
- Interfaith Dialog and Ecumenism
