PROPOSALS FOR A CHARTER OF ETHICS
EFTA-RELATES 2025 Congress
‘Research and controversies in systemic interventions’

These organisations embody the scientific knowledge and practical experience of professionals from a variety of cultures and backgrounds in Europe and Latin America.
The conference is intended to be transdisciplinary, transgenerational and multicultural, encouraging dialogue and the sharing and optimisation of knowledge and practice.
