Cilj & Svrha

U zadnje dvije godine, svijet je iskusio razarajuće posljedice COVID-19 krize u svakom segmentu društvenog života. Izjava UN-ovoga glavnog tajnika Antónia Guterresa kako je pandemija prouzročila neviđenu ljudsku patnju i ekonomsku devastaciju širom svijeta pokazala se, nažalost, točnim pokazateljem razmjera i težine njezinih posljedica. I dok se bitka s pandemijom primarno vodila na polju medicinske znanosti, postalo je očito da ograničenja socijalnih prava i usluga i mjere zabrane kretanja mogu dovesti do teških, neželjenih posljedica po ranjive članove društva. Ispostavilo se da ranjivost ranjivih nikada nije bila veća i ostaje otvorenim pitanje može li se država nositi sa socijalnim teretom i može li ih primjereno zaštititi. Upravo zbog toga znanstvena zajednica ima moralnu, etičku i profesionalnu dužnost odgovoriti na novonastalu krizu, a projekt Život u doba bolesti COVID-19 izravan je odgovor na tu obvezu.

Na završnoj međunarodnoj znanstvenoj konferenciji predstavit će se projektni rezultati i kroz interdisciplinarni pristup otvorit će se rasprava s istraživačima, znanstvenicima, kreatorima javnih politika, organizacijama civilnog društva i građanima u europskom kontekstu. Razmijenit će se iskustva i znanja na teorijskoj i praktičnoj razini kako bi se predložila rješenja o osnaženju sustava za zaštitu prava ranjivih u vrijeme kriza koje nas tek očekuju.

Aim & Scope

In the last two years, humanity has experienced devastating effects of COVID-19 crisis in every segment of social life. The UN Secretary-General António Guterres' statement that COVID-19 pandemic is causing untold human suffering and economic devastation worldwide is, unfortunately, a correct predictor of extent and severity of its effects. While state officials are predominately focused on fighting the pandemic in the medical battlefield, there has been a strong indication that the state reduction of previously attained level of social security rights and services combined with mandatory lockdown measures have severe, unwanted consequences for the most vulnerable members of society. Recent research has shown that these who were vulnerable are now more vulnerable than ever and question remains whether the state may bear the COVID-19 social burden and adequately protect them. Scientific community has a moral, ethical and professional obligation to respond to the crisis. The project Life in the time of COVID-19 is a direct response to this obligation.

The project final conference will be an occasion to comprehensivly present project results and through an interdisciplinary approach to open a discussion with researchers, scientists, creators of public policies, nongovernmental organisations and citizens in the European context. Conference participants will exchange knowledge and experiences on theoretical and practical level to propose solutions for strengthening the system for the protection of the rights of the vulnerable in time of crisis that await us.
