Conference on co-responsible implementation of governance approaches in technological projects , Brussels, Belgium
The project has been investigating how ethical reflexivity could be integrated into the research and technology development culture of EU research, so that these considerations become a more natural part of the evaluation and technical development process. EGAIS has sought to provide guidance to stakeholders that will lead towards a coherent and cohesive approach to achieving ethical design outcomes from projects - an approach that begins with the proposal design and continues throughout the project.
The conference is intended to prompt reflection on the way which new governance and assessment guidelines can address the issue of integration of ethics into technical development projects and applications across the European culture of technological innovation.
The EGAIS project is a three year project funded by the European Commission under the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7). It has taken an interdisciplinary approach to integrating ethical considerations within technical development projects through governance mechanisms.For further information, please visit http://www.egais-project.eu/?q=node/9(opens in new window)
