Conference Theme: Ethics and Authentic Dialogue in the AI Era
Conference Sub-themes:
- Global Ethical Philosophy and Civilisation Dialogue
- Ethics in the Era of AI and Technology
- Authentic Dialogue for Leadership and Multicultural Engagement
- Ethics in the Humanities and Service Learning
- Moral and Ethical Education Development
The organisers of the 19th Anniversary APNME Conference invite proposals for presentations related to the Conference Theme.
- Proposals are to be submitted to apnme2025@um.edu.my.
- Please note that for your proposal to be considered, it must comply with the requirements (below).
Theme and Description: To be updated soon
Whilst priority will be given to presentations addressing these topics, any presentations that are concerned with moral and civic education will be welcomed. We sincerely welcome to our conference all those who truly care about exploring and enhancing the role of moral education, through theory and practice, in the Asia-Pacific region and in the world.
Forms of Presentation
- Individual papers (30 to 45 minutes): Individually submitted papers with up to a 20-minute presentation time and 10-minute discussion time (30-minute sessions), or 30-minute presentation time and 15-minute discussion time (45-minute sessions). At the discretion of the Programme Committee, two or three presentations may be combined in one 90-minute session, and the Programme Committee's decision as to time allocation will be final. The Committee will invite and assign a Chair for each session.
- Symposium (90 minutes): Discussion of a cross-national, cross-disciplinary, or common topic or theme that falls within the overall Conference Theme. This will be organised by the corresponding author, who will typically be the Symposium Chair. Normally, symposia will have 3 or 4 presenters and perhaps a discussant, but must allow for interactive discussion with the audience.
- Poster presentations: Must be related to the Conference theme, and must focus on theoretical, empirical and practical work in progress. The APNME will award its Annual Best Poster Prize for the best poster.
Notes on submitting a proposal (individual papers or poster)
- If you are submitting a proposal, please note that abstracts need to be in an acceptable (standard) form of written English and, for an individual paper or a poster, should be 150-200 words in length.
- Please check the English very carefully before sending us your abstract, and please make sure you have kept within the word limit.
- Please make sure your abstract is addressing the Conference Theme. On the form, you may like to start with the words: "This presentation will address the Conference Theme by …"
- This is not intended to constrain creativity or diversity of opinions. Rather, we encourage creativity and diversity while at the same time focusing on the Conference theme: “Ethics and Authentic Dialogue in the AI Era”
- In order to make the 2025 APNME a more open and friendly conference, one or two sessions will be conducted in the local language, for the sake of presenters and also audience members who are very interested in the topics but have limited English skills. However, presenters in these sessions will still need to prepare their PPTs in standard English, and they will have to find translators to translate their presentations into English, and interpreters to translate the audience members’ questions and presenters’ answers.
Notes on submitting a proposal (symposium)
- On the Proposal Submission Form, enter the name of the symposium chairperson as the Corresponding Author, and the names of the co-presenters as Co-authors.
- Provide a 300-350 word abstract that describes the purpose and nature of the symposium as a whole, plus abstracts of 150-200 words for each of the papers presented in the symposium.
- Please be sure to state clearly how your symposium as a whole, and each of the papers presented in it, are addressing the Conference Theme.
