Ethical Impact Assessment Framework for Research and Innovation
Avenue Marnix 17
On September 17, 2015, the NEN (Netherlands Standardization Institute) will host the workshop ‘Ethical Impact Assessment for Research and Innovation’. The Workshop is organized by the SATORI project and will assess the feasibility of European consensus for such a framework.
Ethical impact assessment of research and innovation considers potential societal harms and risks and implications for fundamental rights, justice, well-being of citizens and the common good. Such assessments may require a consideration of potential impacts on health, the environment, work, leisure, social relations, politics and values. The framework aims to facilitate the embedding of scientific and technological advances in our society.
The workshop present the first step towards creating a CEN workshop agreement (CWA) for the ethical impact assessment framework that SATORI is developing.
