Preface

As part of the work of the University and Citizen Network of Ethics and Bioethics, which is currently organizing spaces for debate on ethics, with the aim of contributing to academic processes related to teaching, research, service to society, and university management from an ethical approach, the 3rd International Congress: Ethics in Cuenca: University City, whose proceedings are collected in this volume, was held.

The University, faced with the challenge of a complex contemporaneity, must open spaces for a discussion on ethics, which overcomes the traditional idea of imposition

This reflection is fundamental in our academic work because it involves the training of professionals, so it is essential to understand our own context, which means looking closely at our culture and our human nature, which we know requires certain

As a result of this analysis, it will be easy to accept that the practices of some affect others, that the actions of some affect others, and that solidarity, understood as the exercise of putting ourselves in the place of others, will allow us to recover our sensitivity and re-humanize ourselves in the light of what is good for all. Therefore, the construction of these ethics, beyond a legal system that obliges or forbids us to do, will be the compass that guides our actions in freedom because we will have decided, individually and consciously, that we will all be well within this agitated

Under these premises, the Catholic University of Cuenca, as host, has taken care of all the details to receive those who have taken on the challenge of rethinking ethics from different coordinates. The main thematic axes of the Congress were defined from ancestral ethics, ethics in education and art sciences, health sciences, social sciences and administration, engineering, industry, and construction, information and communication technologies, and finally ethics in agricultural and veterinary
