Increasing attention is being paid to ethical issues relating to research and innovation. In areas such as life sciences the ethical issues are well communicated, but for many engaged in Information and Communication Technology development these may not be so obvious. There have been a number of cases of otherwise very good ICT proposals being rejected for ethical reasons.

To assist those whose work is likely to be subject to ethical review and EU funding advisors who may have to give advice on the FP7 ethical review we offer a "Workshop on Ethical issues in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Research and Development" which will take place on 5 March 2009 in Hamburg, Germany.

This workshop provides a compact introduction to the topic of ethics for ICT practitioners. The workshop will help researchers and other partners in research projects to recognise ethical issues connected with their work and thus will support them in meeting the standards of FP7 and other R&D programmes.

TuTech Innovation which is organising the workshop was founded in 1992 as the technology transfer institute for the Hamburg University of Technology. We are offering services regarding participation in EU funded programmes especially for publicly funded universities and SMEs.

We look forward to welcoming you to Hamburg.TuTech is an organisation owned by two public organsiations with a public mission. This is no commercial offer.
