About 40 students from various scientific fields, coming from the University of Đakovo, Niš, Osijek, Skopje, Zadar, and Zagreb participated in the three study days of Workshop.Except for the Students Bioethics Workshop, three more relevant events were organised within the manifestation: “Presentation of recent bioethical publications”, “Bioscope: Arne Næss, Deep Ecology, and Integrative Bioethics”, “Round Table: The Problem of Environment Management and Allochthonous Game of the Cres-Lošinj Archipelago”.During the presentation of recent bioethical editions, traditionally held on Monday, thirteen new bioethical publications were presented on this edition of bioethical publishing, including a new series of student’s collected papers titled Scenarios of the Future. The bioscope was arranged in a sequence of introductory lectures and film projections (The Call of the Mountain), explaining the role of Arne Næss in the development of contemporary (bio)ethical and eco-protective thought in regard to its importance for the development of integrative bioethics. As the founder of deep ecology, Næss’ profound writings significantly inspired the development of contemporary sensibility towards nature, especially in science, and this event, opened with a lecture by Hrvoje Jurić (Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences of the University of Zagreb) on “Arne Næss, deep ecology and integrative bioethics”, marked 10 years since Næss’ death and 30 years since the publishing of his most important study Ecology Community and Lifestyle (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1989). The round table was organised in the town of Mali Lošinj, oriented towards Scientific meeting reviews / Prikazi skupova251integrating the local public with scientists, and it addressed an urgent problem of local eco-system being heavily endangered by 1980’s uncontrolled import of allochthonous species serving to encourage hunting sports and tourism. Presentations were held by Tomislav Krznar (Faculty of Teacher Education of the University of Zagreb, Croatia), Krunoslav Pintur (Karlovac University of Applied Sciences, Croatia), Ugo Toić (Island Development Agency, Cres, Croatia), and Julijano Sokolić (Department of Chakavian Dialect Parliament Cres–Lošinj, Croatia). Tomislav Krznar held the lecture about bioethical aspects of wildlife management, Krunoslav Pintur spoke about the importance of hunting in island ecosystems, Ugo Toić spoke about the allochthonous game on Cres and Lošinj and whether hunters can solve the problem caused by themselves, and Julijano Sokolić spoke about sheep farming on the southern part of the island of Cres once and today.In conclusion, according to the number of contributors, the largest Lošinj Days of Bioethics affirmed the passing youth of this manifestation and pushed the project into maturity in which we can with a fine certainty expect a stable continuation of the regionally dominating scientific event dedicated to bioethics and interdisciplinary research. Yet – for what it’s worth – we ought to expect the conceptual evolution to follow, not just of the manifestation and the node projects in its network, but also of European bioethics and integrative bioethics, by orienting not just towards current challenges of the epoch, and not just by anticipating the future challenges, but also by intervening into the future scenarios and thus becoming their constitutive factor.Lidija KnorrLuka Perušić
