*Research project *

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.

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
