A researcher (24 months 100% - M/F)

Normaly beginning of September 2009



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
