Germany
The EthicSchool summer school on the ethics of converging technologies will take place from 21 to 26 September in Romrod/Alsfeld, Germany.
Nanotechnologies, biotechnologies, information technologies and other enabling technologies are gaining importance in today's world. They are now entering into a stage of their development where they increasingly converge with one another but also with the social and cognitive sciences.
In plenary lectures, workshops and master classes, the summer school will focus on the long term ethical and cultural implications of converging technologies and how stakeholders can contribute to responsible research.
EthicSchool is open to researchers (PhD students, postdocs and others) from a wide variety of natural sciences, engineering, and social sciences and humanities backgrounds. Prior training in ethics is not required.
The EthicSchool project is funded under the European Commission's Sixth Framework Programme (FP6).For further information, please click:
