**_A researcher (16 months 100% - M/F) ** beginning of
october 2010 end 28/02/2012 (total 16 month)
*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
