<b><i><u>Research project<br><br>
</u></i></b>Research lies within the scope of two European projects.
Those projects investigate ethical governance in EU research projects
with the goal of providing a framework for improved governance mechanisms
that will address potential ethical issues arising from new and emerging
technologies. Studying current governance arrangements in actual ICT
projects (and in particular in Ambient Intelligence project) will help to
produce a better understanding of the efficiency and limits of current
ethics governance. This will be applied to the relevant ethical issues
identified which will lead to a recommendation of successful governance
arrangements that will address ethical issues in emerging ICTs before or
as they arise. The recommendations for individual issues will be used to
develop general policy recommendations. <br><br>
The researcher's work will include: Review of ICT ethics governance
- Research on ICT ethics governance in current European projects -
Evaluation of effectiveness of current governance arrangements -
Application of suitable governance arrangements to most relevant issues
identified - Evaluation of viability of suggested governance
arrangements<br><br>
