**_A researcher (24 months 100% - M/F) ** beginning of
september 2010
*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

not enough that you should understand about applied science in order that your
work may increase man's blessings. Concern for man himself and his fate must
always form the chief interest of all technical endeavors. Albert
