The conference aims to achieve an image, as precise as possible, of the contemporary social and ethical reality in relation to the new and innovative anthropological challenges that come to us from the theoretical and practical developments of the human sciences and technology. Particular attention will be paid to the experience of individual and collective memory, offered by archaeological research, and to the ethical perspectives aimed at the future.

The main topics that will be addressed, in the light of the correlation between anthropology, new technologies and archaeology, will be:

• Artificial intelligence. Ethical, philosophical and juridical problems
• Possible and lawful borders. Ethical limits of technological enhancement of knowledge. Corporeality and intersubjective relationships
• Scientific research in Archaeology as a living experience of History and memory. Particular reference will be made to the research carried out at the Magdala Center
• Man-environment relationship. The strengthening of internal areas for economic and social cohesion. The common good as a concrete universal
• Inter-religious and theological dialogue. The body and the social experience
