Digitale Spiritual Care – Quo Vadis? (14.9.23)

The ongoing digitization of society and health care opens up new forms of spiritual care and creates new challenges in the work of spiritual care workers. Digital technologies are increasingly part of their work organizations, their forms of communication and last but not least the practices of spiritual care recipients. The aim of this conference is to gain insight into the current developments and to analyze their opportunities and risks.

Interested parties are invited to apply with a short synopsis (max. 4,000 characters, including spaces) of the research project or practice model by March 1, 2023. Please send your synopsis and a tentative title along with your contact information to fabian.winiger@uzh.ch.
