Call for Abstracts
The call to submit abstracts for oral, poster, workshop, and panel presentations for the 2026 international conference is now open.
ICEL5 is an interdisciplinary conference, and we welcome abstracts that highlight legal, ethical, clinical, health policy, sociological, and other aspects of assisted dying internationally and within specific jurisdictions. We use ‘assisted dying’ as an umbrella term and recognise that countries use different terminology such as voluntary assisted dying, medical assistance in dying, assisted suicide and euthanasia.
We welcome abstracts that situate assisted dying in its broader end-of-life and health-care contexts, including research which sits at the intersection between assisted dying and other relevant issues, such as advance care planning, other forms of hastened death, and organ donation.
The call for abstracts closes on Sunday 31 August 2025.
To find out more and make a submission, visit the ICEL5 website.
